Weird thing in the MotoRad 206-180 Box

New thermostat arrived in the mail today. MotoRad 206-180. Included in the box were two gold ball studs - the things that gas springs hook onto. Is there something I’m not getting here? Also, is a thermostat supposed to come with a new gasket or seal?

Ironically i see these ball studs every day because they’re on the products that my family’s company manufactures (hot tub cover lifters).
