Any ideas?

Hello all. I'm thinking of buying an Elmarit-R 1:2.8 60mm for my R8. On the outside front end of the lens barrel there are two metal pins sticking out. Any ideas what these could be?
Thanks.

They're attachment points for the lens hood. See the inside here: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/12514

Thanks so much. I've been looking all afternoon on different sites and found nothing. Thanks again.
