I have a lot of the wrap around clamps that consist of a threaded rod,
with corner block. The clamp is then assembled so that it goes around
the rectangle object.
The rods area about 3/8" and 30" long. With they disassemble to a small
package, being rods they are difficult to handle
Has any one any good suggestions for storing this type of clamps
Would something like this work? Or something similar, perhaps made
from PVC. Add a shelf/box for the corner blocks.

Yes!
As per size it is a little over kill. You would be surprised how many
3/8 inch rods you can get in a small space.
That is specifically why I said "something like this". ;-)
Seems like a single or a couple of 4" PVC pipes is all you need. Make a base
to stand them vertical or lay them horizontal, maybe up in a joist bay.
Something like this perhaps:

I had thought of the 4" pipe, but unless I store the end blocks
separately they get tangled when the blocks and rods are stored
together.
Do you have a picture of or link to these types of clamps?
I make a lot of picture frames and stretchers, so mine gets a lot of use.

When not in use they store as rods or rods with the corner blocks.
However with the corner blocks they tend to tangle.
I have used them of some fairly large items like a bed frame.
In my opinion they give much better control of the gluing process than
other types of clamps as by adjusting the nuts on each corner you can
coax the mitered corners to perfect alignment.
