This is the correct answer... 
I guess they used the clamps to hold in place to weld and just left them there. Obviously they play no part beyond that. No reason those welds wouldn't hold up. Yes, there are better ways, but I hand this person an award for hillbilly ingenuity. I remember when cutting & welding frames was considered a no-no, as well as altering steering shafts or steering geometry when I was young. Many ideas I had that were shot down by the older knowledgeable mechanics who guided me are common place now.
