Body part; Are these original?

I'm repairing whatever these things are called. Although I'm not sure what this little 90 degree bent tab is for or whether it is original.

The one end against the body isn't attached.

Was measuring and saw a similar one at the other end. So probably original, but should that end be attached to the tub.

Hey John, they are body steps, yes, those tabs belong there and the outside one is attached to the body.

I have to admit, I thought the same about mine...those tabs look like home repair not factory.

Thanks guys.

Well they're loose and I'm think I'm going to tuck them inside the rocker and give them a tack weld. It'll probably knock thousands off the resale value :P
