Aside from stirring conversation, I can't imagine what useful purpose they would serve. Maybe they were supposed to be some form of anti-rebound spring but I can't imagine them being the least bit affective, (or is it effective??).

A repair for part for the broken spring ends?

Useless and ugly.

They may serve to limit side sway on the shackles, a bit like a panhard bar does. Hard to see it being as effecfive. Pig ugly though.
