Default what are these????

SO I took my 78 project car apart almost 6 years ago. I am finally starting to finish it up ( are they ever finished)? I found these 2 pieces of rubber in a box along with the cowl flapper and some other heater/a/c parts but cannot figure out where they go. Door weather stripping? Fresh air flapper weather-stripping. I know for a fact that when I took them off I MUST HAVE THOUGHT that their placement in the car was so obvious that I didn't need to put a label on them. Someone please refresh my old memory as towhee they are. THx.
PS They are ALMOST mirror images of each other but there is a lip on the straight edge under the screws that goes in different directions.

Yep, lower filler weatherstrip...
Being careful, clean them up real good.
The short tab on the end of the replacements that fit under the side molding are too short.
Put a dab of RTV sealant on the back and screw threads when you install them.
There is a L & R...
