If you can't figure out what they are for, it's a pretty safe bet that you don't need them!  ;)

I'll throw in a suggestion, could they be converter plates from say Axminster style jaws to SuperNova/Vicmark style jaws.

The Toolpost's Versa Chuck allows you to buy carriers for both types of jaw, maybe this was another makers/companies solution.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I would guess they are converters from Nova to Axminster, since Nova use a recess as the locating groove whereas Axminster use a raised ridge for that purpose.
