shock mounts is the best guess I can come up with. The truss looks similar to the DMG truss.

1st pic are "speed holes" in 1:1s they lighten the members by not having the metal there.

The winglets with holes in the second pic would be a great way to attach a sway bar if you wanted to.

Yeah, they would be kinda high for shock mounts unless it was a really lifted truck...I'd say it's so you could mount a panhard bar either direction depending on which side your servo was on. I wish it had a name on it, I'd like to buy one!

They are oriented the wrong direction for a PANHARD bar,but would be great for a 3 link set up. A 90* L bracket attached would allow for a panhard mount.
