What are these straps for

At first I thought what holds the troop seats up in the closed position but see they're actually different.

No, those are sewn into the cover....
My dueces both had straps like that through bolted to the hoops. On the bed cover there were toothed clamps for cinching those straps holding up the rolled up sides.

Those straps in the first post look a little long though. Maybe they are for securing the pioneer tools?

It's hard to tell from the pic, but:

- Does each one have (2) clips and a single open leg (like that one's the tightening strap)?
