Two mystery *****?

I was plugging in a new AUX cable the other day and discovered these two ***** (pins). For the life of me I can not figure out what they are for.

Could they just be screw covers?

yep CD prop - that's the best purpose anyone has come up with. The opening width there is just perfect for a CD case, and the two buttons keep the edge up pointing towards you so you can easily pull one out or read it.

They also perfectly hold in the little rubber tray you can buy to turn that cubby hole into something useful for things other than CD's

I thought they might be pivot points for some sort of door or cover, but this from Capt bj seems more likely. "They also perfectly hold in the little rubber tray you can buy to turn that cubby hole into something useful for things other than CD's."
