This group is an amazing knowledge base. Sure enough, if you Google with

Looks like outrigger brackets to hang planks as a platform off the side
of scaffolding (or maybe ladders depending on the lenght of the bracket
arms.).

to allow adjustment for the angle of the ladder.

Its a ladder jack. It hooks onto the rungs of 2 extension ladders and
provides places to put a plank.
