My best guess. They are sickle guard attachments for downed crop useful for layed over alfalfa, and beans etc. Spaced at about one foot or so along the header if on a combine, or on the conditioner bar for hay.
Some rice harvesting machines (Wild rice here in MN) may also have used such a device in the past. Jim

A hay loader might also have had them on the front of the gather!! Jim

Here's another picture. Was wondering about the row of bolts and the insert on the back.

Just to finish this off, I received these comments on the identify forum.
Thanks to all,

We had a guy show up with something very similar which had a foundry name from Tekonsha, MI on it. We found sales brochure saying they were for wagon flare boards. Looks like the same thing to me.

I agree they would be flare brackets for (horse drawn)wagon sides, I have similar ones here, there would be another bracket that this fits into on the upright board of the wagon and then these would lock in to hold the top boards either straight up or flared out depending on what you were wanting to haul on your wagon.
