Vortex generators

Slightly off topic, but.

On the Airbus A300-B4 (and probably -B2) there are Vortex Generators on the upper wing surface, forward of the outboard (low speed) ailerons.
I always thought these were to keep the airflow active over the ailerons in the low speed configuration when approaching or in the stall.

So my question is, Why do these vortex generators still appear on the A300-600 when it does not have low speed ailerons?

Any ideas.

Safe flying.
