Decoy rack hardware question

Tom, a couple pics look like hinges to me. The other hardware are bronze table leg brackets for fancy boats. I used them too, but know I struggled to find them then in 2010. They are what Dave Clark used, I copied him a bunch when I was refurbishing my BBSB. I made my stool racks removable, but only remove them at the end of the season, never during a hunt.

Hard to see from the pics. But does anyone know what these latches are called? Or where to find them? Saw them on estuaries. Thanks.
Table Leg Fasteners, Estuary's still have then on there decoy racks. There was a new boat at Tuckerton Decoy Show with them made out of Silicon Bronze. The old the old ones were brass. He said he has molds and he has them casted, along with other parts for the boats.

The pictures do look like hinges. When I built a BBSB last fall I made removable decoy racks with the corners connected by a pair of "cabin door latches" purchased from Jamestown Distributors after Steve Sanford told me about them. The racks have a wooden post and socket to support them and are are held in place by a block on the deck that provides tension as the rack is sprung slightly and slid in place inside the oarlock base,
