What the heck do you call these little buckles on the rear stays? and what do they do if anything?

Those look like they're decorative bands to me. Interesting touch. I like it.

I think they are there to make it easier to finish the dropouts and seat stay joints.

Styling to me, especially the bands near the seat lug.
Is this the original finish?

Perhaps Both ends are lathe turned separately then the band reinforces the seam

repeated Japan track Keirin Racing is a bit hard on equipment, + maybe a builder's distinction under a logos not permitted paint.
