How rigid / strong / secure are they? Could they be towing balls for manoeuvring caravans / sheds / trailers etc? Some vehicles do have them fitted. It's difficult to judge from the pic.

they seem pretty rigid, smaller than a rear towing ball though.

In days of yore there was a small towball before the standard modern one appeared - I still have one in my scrap pile somewhere. Front mounted balls :oops: are handy for moving stuff around in a yard - especially one either side so that you can see down the side of what you are pushing.

So basically I have the T25 equivalent of Thomas the tank engine (only slower), best suited to shunting things around yards! :D
