Mystery Lock Ring, help!

Hi All,

Was replacing my clutch and these two lock rings (at least that's what I think they are) fell onto the ground but I have no idea where they belong. Could you guys help me identify these?

Thanks!
Tim

They fit into the radiator support where it attaches to the frame with three nuts on each side. When you put it in service mode and move the support they tend to fall out but are easily pushed back in place.
