Where do you think you obtained them from. Surely that might give you a clue.
They could be reasonable valuable (although without the manifold and aircleaner assembly less so) as there weren't that many models that came out with them standard. They were a popular hot-up mod in the 70's/80's - someone with a 180BSSS upgrades to twin webers, so sells their twin SU's who puts them on their non-SSS 180B for example. Even better if you ported the head and installed a warm cam (say 72deg). Of course ditching the L18 in favour of a L20 was also popular at the time. My 1600 ran a 74 deg cam for a while then 76 deg on avgas later on in life 2.1L L20 block. Some of the rally guys were experimenting with 78 deg cams and BMW grinds.
