They could be the side curtain filler for the area between the front and rear side curtains. Need to know the type material they are made from.

They used to lube the springs (often with used motor oil) and then install covers to keep the lubricant in and the dirt out.......... That might explain the taper.

Different sizes are for the different lengths of springs on the front or back halfs of each spring for both the fromt and rear of the car. If you are looking to sell them Id like to buy them.
