Correction, Correction.Correction !!!
Just found another Bev youtube clip showing freight deck side door para dropping. Never did, or saw, thia in service, so a first - and, there were the mystery attachments.
So, in
total contradiction to my supposition, they were a
required fit for side -door para and thinking about it, they were probably a means of preventing the static line strops from simultaneous side exits getting tangled and not being able to recover them onboard. Apologies for any confusion caused - ... it is a condition, of which, I am well aware !
