They were placed there to stop dust etc getting into the scope. Don't take them out, just leave them in place if I were you. Someone has obviously deforked this scope from an alt/az fork mount and these are the attachment points (6 in all). Same as with my scope. It's a Meade lx50 which was a fork mounted scope.
