Yes, they are alignment shims. Adding/removing shims from these brackets
adjusts the toe. Because of what probably were pretty loose manufacturing
tolerances of the chassis, you may need to add shims in various
combinations, to both brackets to achieve the required spec. Again due to
loose tolerances, each TR6 will likely require a different number of shims
and in different places to reach the same spec.
