CD 27 Mystery deck hardware

I discovered these three mysterious bronze pieces in a locker while cleaning out my CD 27 today. Looking at caulk-filled bolt holes on the foredeck, I can see where they were mounted. The two "V" shaped ones look like they could be chain stoppers. But I'm mystified about what the rectangular bronze piece is for. Any ideas?

looks like a perfect catch/hook for a danforth/spade anchor?

Looks like a small Danforth would fit right in there.

Here you can see the Danforth (style) anchor chocks in use. Note that the crown is not in place correctly.

Thanks guys, mystery solved! What I've got is 3/4 of a set of Hooker bronze anchor chocks. I found this on ebay:

Thanks again!
