My WAG is that they'd be used to keep boards flat during glue-up.
The thing that puzzles me, is why they'd be so tall.
I also can't think of a way where they'd be useful in making
meatballs.
One thing is for sure, you're not going to create a whole lot of
clamping power.... so I think it is more to hold something rather than
to clamp something.

The vise with the long beam looks like an end vise. The two smaller
blocks might attach to the bottom of the bench.
How's Sweden?
