These bars came on my car when purchased in '79. I plan on putting them back on in my restoration. Hoping someone knows something about these vintage parts. These were made by welding two "L" channels together into a box configuration. there are spaces between welds and not the entire length of bar (see pics). The total length to point is 29-7/8 in. the box part is 1-1/2x1-5/8 in. The only stamping is a "MC" with "E" below (see pic). Don't tell my wife I used kitchen counter for pics,LOL.

Possibly homemade, using stock multi-leaf shock mounting plates?

I would almost guarantee they are homemade. My dad made a set on his Nova with angle iron stock laying around the shop. Can't wait to see them cleaned up. Got any old pics of how they used to look?
