Those look like forged eye bolts with a boss that is pulled up tight against the steel frame. If they were hanging out the shank would see a bending stress and it could overload the top side of the shank, maybe to failure. But with these forged eye bolts installed this way the shank of the bolt is in shear - a much stronger position for them.
