Looks to be a case of there being "a prototype for everything" - in this case, nut/bolt/washer castings that appear to serve a purpose but are really just ornamentation. ( My apologies to Bernhard (modelsof1900), whose nut/bolt/washer detail is not only functional, but built-up rather than a simple casting.)
