Those were added by Ron Anderson when he first started developing the T3. He was planning to add additional reed blocks there but I don't think he ever did as the toliet bowl fuel injection was a better solution. The idea was to suck only air thru those reed blocks and then run the front carbs extra rich to give the correct F/A ratio.
