Anyone able to identify these parts?

You could always list them on eBay under "parts".  Don't forget to include "rare", since none of us have ever seen these things, before.  Just don't put the dime in the listing picture, or some buyer will complain that that dime is not rare at all.  If somebody PMs you "What is it?" just answer "If you don't know, you don't need it."  And, if somebody buys it, ask him what the heck it is.

now that is a great idea!

Flatcar load.  Add some blocking and tie-downs, and it's done.  If you ever find out what they are, and need them, it will be easy to remove them from the flatcar.
