What are these (clamps) for?

Anybody know what these are for?
I suspect the first two clamps came with the same accessory.
I suspect the clamp with a hole on the top surface and the bar with two threaded holes also came with an accessory.
I've had them for many years and don't remember what they're for; I haven't found them listed in any of the manuals I have.
I have a 500 upgraded to 510 with lathe, routing, and mortising kits, Shaper/Drum Sander Fence, Speed Increaser, Speed Reducer, Band Saw, Belt Sander, Strip Sander, Scroll Saw, Jointer, Pro Planer (stand model), Ring Master, Mill Route, Routing System (stand model, under table and over arm), Sharpening Guide Kit, Precision Chuck, Dust Collector and Utility Light Set.

The two on the left are the clamps for the 500 shaper fence.

The two parts on the right are for mounting the clear plastic shield that came with the Speed Increaser.

Thanks

I forgot about the Shaper Fence and Speed Increaser.
I bought the Shaper Fence when I had a 500; the 510 upgrade doesn't use the clamps. SS provided instructions to drill the 510 table for mounting bolts.
I haven't used my Speed Reducer for years (dropped it and now the shaft wobbles). Someday, I'll send it back to have it repaired.
