Need help identfying this bay bus accessory PLEASE

[restojohnny]

I've had these for awhile now but the paper that came with it disintegrated when I opened the package. I know they are an accessory for either the rear seats or ? these are in excellent condition and would like to know EXACTLY what they are for and if possible a price range as I can not find anything close to these to base a price and also WHAT THE HECK they are for exactly

how confident are you that it is for a bay? and why do you think it has something to do with seats?
(the wind blew the paper away because the parts are cursed.) sticking with the Dr Jones theme.

The Bumper on the instructions do not fit the profile of a Bus bumper.

[raygreenwood]

Interesting. Was there a part # associated?

The short strips look like over rider trim strips of some kind. Ray
