alignment pins of some kind is my guess. Or pins that lock out movement or a select a setting. Belaying pins in sailing are quite similar. They come in wood and metal.

Thanks for the info and response.

I’m posting another picture, the wooden pins have two holes and show discoloration like something was bolted on them…

or they sat in a pair of rails on a boat.

Belaying Pin

Instead of a cleat to tie-off the line which you use to raise your sail & keep it raised, you can use a belaying pin. Advantage: quick release. Made from Rock Maple.

as an after thought, the pin in your photo on the left appears to have rope marks, then the figure eight loop.

Belaying pins are also used on a tie rail, in theaters, in front of the full fly rail.
Usually used to tie off cable pages for lighting and set pieces.
