Look like anti-rattle clips to me.

My van uses ones that are similar. They help hold the pad to the caliper. Not required, but meh. The tabs hook into holes in the backside of the caliper holders, or they should. May not need them in your application, but if you can get them installed, no biggie. Also called anti rattle clips, as SGR stated.

Are they curved? Some calipers have springs that put presser against the pad to keep it in the caliper when its dismounted and also to reduce squeeling
