The brackets could as easily be plastic mouldings as zinc mouldings Ty, I just noticed that they were injection moulded. Maybe they used to hold up an ornamental hat that sat up above the center of the mower - I'm visualising a Carmen Miranda type chapeau with lots and lots of pieces of fruit, maybe 18" high? It would look a lot better than that monstrosity mower with the tailfins that keeps turning up here.
