Fascinating!

Like you, I don't see why they are so complicated for what they do (why
not just have the hole in the middle of the pointy bit the right size in
the first place, instead of having a lose fitting insert, and two
machined groves and rings to hold the insert in place). I half wonder
if they're actually something else that someone got a job lot of and
repurposed.

AH, body post markers.

It begs the question: "What is a body post"?

Apparently, a mounting point for model car bodies to the chassis. I did a
short google search and didn't find any pictures of anyone mounting a body,
but didn't have the interest to pursue that any further.
