I dont think they're seals................. all the seals I've seen have flippers & shiny black nose's.

 

I agree they look like the type of seal that you crimp on.

I'll go with that Andy,two holes to put the wire through and crimp to seal.

Me thinks it's a Waffenamt seal. They were used by Germany when various articles had been inspected and passed for use (usually armaments). I can see a number on same which is either 54 or 504.

54 die was used for 20mm case around 1940/41.

504 was used for electric switch circa 1943 !!

The War Museum will be best for confirmation,or if I'm wrong, they should be better suited to inform you.
