Those little wooden tabs, projecting down at left and right above the shelf, were put there to keep the 12-inch record album set from tipping off. See picture below.

Detail of Victor "spider-leg" X with full set of albums.   Rightmost, small, wooden "hanging piece" or "tab" can be seen at the top center cover of album "E" (above the HMV logo) doing its job --- keeping the record albums from falling of the shelf.   An identical wooden piece contacts the center back cover of album "A".

My Oak Spider Leg X has these tabs on the sides only and never on front or back. Proof in pic above that the purpose is to hold the albums. Funny thing I never noticed these tabs until now. Joe
