They look like they are the same age as the other loft timbers rather
than being added later. They are probably tie beams used to provide
latteral bracing to the floor joists. Especially those with a long
unsupported span. You could probably replace them by a row of noggings
between the joists.

I've done this. Thanks for the advice.
