They are Military D lock duffel bag fasteners, used by German and British army :icon_thumleft:

Designed to be used by passing the straight part through the duffelbag eyelets, then securing the arm with a small padlock.
The idea was to prevent casual pilfering by one's comrades, as well as locals when bags were piled up awaiting movement!
