Yup.  You can see it fairly well in 4980 Tunnel Transport (the helicopter-like
thing).  It's using them for 'feet' on the four landing struts.  I don't
recall who mentioned it, but they do indeed look like AT-*T feet.

The picture that's up on www.yakface.com  -there's three pictures of the model
from different angles, one of which is from the rear.  Looking at the piece in
4980, it's fairly obviously the same part.
