Does anyone know what these plastic attachments were for? All I can guess is that they were for some aftermarket keyboard storage tray that attached on top of the iMac for when not in use. Interesting that they are color matched.

They're just stuck on with adhesive pads, planning on removing them but wanted to find out what they were first.

Hard to say. Almost looks like they might've been for an anti-glare screen accessory.

Better leave 'em. They're clearly the extremely rare, color matched iMac Ears! :D

My guess is some sort of privacy shield.

If not for an anti-glare filter, then my guess is it's for one of those copy arm things.
