Brian & Chris, both your photos show a coupling pin on a length of chain on the platform ends. Chris’ photo shows there was a gap in the coupler, and Bruce’s shows there was a hole through it. I gather this would accept a link - which answers my next question of how they mated them with link & pin equipment. The chain was there so that the pin never “walked off” and was always available when needed.

I agree with Herb, fun to discover this stuff.

Have a great New Years everyone!
Ralph
