None of it is OEM. Bottom looks a plug. Any wires run to it. Top two look like a hand may have been attached at some point. I never seen one like it before.

These are not Vader light related. Looks like mounting brackets for something and maybe a mic jack or speaker jack. Your dash doesn't have the proper holes for a Vader light. Maybe an OEM Hardtop FJ40 or a dash transplant?
Here is a picture of a Vader light I just installed in my truck along with the OEM switch.

Top pieces maybe a cup holder attachment? Seems like a good place to store a road soda as a passenger.

Looks like it could have been a plug for headset for coms. 
There isn’t one on the driver side ?

That would make perfect sense. I will google image search that.

No wires, but I also tore out a ton of non functional wiring when I first got it.
See where the wires go from the back side of the plug - I vote Gerry rigged trouble light or and actual headphone jack.

My 73 has tons of non OEM wiring. A PO used a trailer light plug to connect the home made winch controller. That is a Vader light and switch which are original to the cruiser since it's a FST.
Registration expired in 1988. Cruiser hasn't been used since then. Cruiser was offered to me at a price I couldn't refuse in 1994.

Agreed. My money is on an old headphone jack for the port and the upper two, there was likely a some sort of holder / cross bar for said headphones.
The top parts look like a toilet roll holder bracket we had in the 80s. Handy in the passenger seat?
Why the hell did so many PO's have to make their dashes look like the cock pit of a Boeing 747!
Back when people had nothing, and you could buy nothing; having something was actually cool.
Now people have everything, and you can buy all manner of crap online; nobody wants it.

I think the top brackets are for an old “ Bar Bouy” cup holder.
