Another what the heck are these?

Howdy all,

Just hoping you all could fill me in on what these may be if anything.

Hi, they look like reproduction riveted irons to me and reason I say that is the type or chain, attachment of the chain to the shackle and the holes where the rivet go thru plus a few other thing.
Put these next to an authentic pair of the convict slave era and you will see the difference to.
