Amazing I just found a Lockwood 72T with the same thing.They are a trolling plate.They cut down the efficiency of the prop to produce lower speeds.The spring loaded flaps are designed to provide more blockage of the prop as the speed increases.They are easily removable (as you probably discovered) by lifting the holding wires.They were made to fit specific motors,so your motor is probably stamped on the Plate.There is an add I found on line that shows one being installed on what looks like your motor.Where did you find your motor?I got mine in Minn.As your photo shows,They were made in Little Falls Minn.Wonder how many were sold?
