That's where they used to strap up little kids they caught trying to steal from it!  Cool

       Almost all Cavalier uprights from the 50's and 60's had them. Best explanation I have heard is they were spot welded on for crating and shipping purposes.

I have heard that as well. Steve Ebner once told me he thought it was for a special dolly used in off-loading them from delivery trucks.
I have never encountered any sort of reference to them in any manual or seen anything that fits into them.
I tend to think it was used in the assembly line somehow to carry them or hang as they moved through the automated paint booth, etc.

      All of these theories would make more sense if they were not welded on at a
45 degree angle .

Perhaps fastening to a wall...?
It has been done on other coin-ops...

Maybe they were on there to give something to strap to a dolly for delivery?

I assumed they were there to prevent someone from tipping the machine.
