They initially reminded me of the shipping plugs used for the 40mm bofors, but your ones appear to be larger diameter ~50mm and slightly different from the bofors ones (see pics).
The other interesting point is that they do not have a base, so I don't think they were used as "shipping plugs".

BTW - It is bad enough when you have one item that you can't ID, but when you "multiple of".............Aaaaaarrrggggggg!!!
