I'm trying to figure which models these brackets would be for.

Sure look like the ones on my 34, though I didn't print your photo and take it out to the garage to compare.

EDIT - Upon closer comparison, close but no cigar, they lack the extension that fits over the frame-end cap, otherwise very similar. I should have figured out that a question from you wouldn't be that easy!

I posted the same question on another site, and a 1931 840 coupe owner said it was identical to his.

West,

Sorry for late reply was down in Brazil last week. Now I am back to the cold tundra.

The brackets you have shown above look similar to the ones on my 833.

Only thing on mine the thumb-nobs are broken. Would you know if they have any spares at the museum?

Thanks

Tom, someone repros those thumb knob screws, I just can't remember who at the moment but I'll try to remember your need next time I see the advertisement.

Tom
Interesting thing about those thumb knobs. I assumed they were the same as on my 1940, but they do not operate with a spring mechanism. They are threaded. If you still have your knurled knob, you could probably repair yours by welding on a new shaft. I have not seen any knobs at the museum, sorry.
These brackets came out of the museum, and are already sold.
