Kelly E:
Those look like adjustable pre-load caps or they just made it easy to change fluid in the forks.

Charlie J:
Problem is the bolts are in blind holes so you couldn't get any fluid in through them!

That could well be what the threaded holes were for but the job never got finished. Perhaps the PO didn’t have a long enough tap.

Somebody has gone to the trouble of cutting a thread in a blind hole to insert the bolts. I can’t think of any purpose they might serve.

Got some 2-piece sport handlebars/clip-ons that would fit there...
They clamp on the tube, "ears" at the top get bolted to the fork-caps...

<edit>
found them, took pics...

Bryanj:
Those look a bit like Dunstalls
