Thanks Hondavalk. This helps a bunch. I can see the hexigon shaped thing on the side.

OK, this makes sense. Yes, I agree with the above poster, they are used to adjust the angle of the hitch head.

It's quite obvious that you use only one of them, not both at the same time. The holes are off set, looks like about half. Think of it this way. One washer-spacer-angle maker thing would have settings at: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The other one would make the settings 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 so you can fine tune the angle of the hitch head. They are not intended to be used together. I may be wrong, but looking at the pictures, this would make perfect sense. Use only 1 at a time, not both together.

I've never seen this before, because my old Reese hitch head had ridges, like the teeth of a comb, laying on its side. Both halves of the teeth locked into each other. You adjusted the hitch head angle by moving it, then tightening the bolt down. This locks the teeth together. That was the old style.
