They look like if you chop the 1x1 tip off a 1x3 33 slope to me. That slope
matches the faceted corners on the 4x4 wedge perfectly, if you line up the
corners (make sure you've got <http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=45677

Those appear to be the same part as the ones lining the forward vertical edges
of the nose, but mounted with 1x1 headlight bricks so the blunt tip is entirely
concealed (I've included that in the LDR file as well), since the stud would
stick through the top of the slope otherwise.. All told, it should sit about
1mm short of the height of two plates.
