Hello everybody. Just need a little help.
Today spotted this unusual but useful door stops. Does anyone knows the reference for this or nickname for this?

I have seen them called Ambulance door stops but I don't know if that is the formal name or usage.

I looked through a number of Ambulance photos on the site and didn't see any actual Ambulances with them installed so I think they were an option, even on Ambulances.

I believe they were seen on Fire Vehicles too.
