Those are spacers to adjust the bumper ride height to meet US specs. My folks bought a brand new '72 Bavaria from Hoffman in the Chicago area, Riviera blue with tan interior. I remember going to the lot to pick it out. We got the base model and my step dad had an aftermarket radio installed. I remember the price as being $6K new.

Exactly. They were originally installed on top of the strut but under tower, to raise the car up 14mm. Removing them and placing on top would lower the car to Euro height.
