What are these straps with curved metal ends for?

I just got in two of these straps but I have no clue what they were used for.

The curved metal ends are 36.5mm wide so I guess they are for something round with 1.5" diameter. Straps are 2" wide and made from same webbing l the M-1936 carrying straps were made of.

Medical Dept. used with stretchers.

 

 

( a wartime quip was that when it was raining they were used across the patient, the stretcher could be inverted and the patient transported in the dry ) but that was only a wartime joke.
