Tail Light Surrounds

[Valencia]

Righto so im trying to restore but to no avail (Need rechroming ) my surrounds and i have noticed that one of my many pairs that i have one has 2 little look like locking tangs behind the studs

Question they look factory but do they go on with the surrounds or after install ??
And do you need them ?? image.jpgimage.jpeg

They were originally put into the square hole in the body, then you put some grey putty, I think that's what drip check is used for now, on the pins, as you push the surround on to the body.

The retainer in the pic is broken.
I was looking for these, havent found anyone doing them so far.
Most times lately I've removed surrounds, the cars don't have the retainers on them, just a blob of dried grey putty. So probably don't need (unless you're Jason!)
