I’m finely putting the front fenders back on my car and I have two pieces left over! I think they belong at the back of the fender at the bottom but I can’t see where (Seniors moment) Does anyone recognize these and were they belong

I think they're called a baffle, and they go at the bottom of the front fenders, just in front of the doors. Here is a drawing I made when I took mine off:
When I made the drawing I didn't know that GM called them a baffle, so I just called them what they seemed to be - splash guards.

I just realized that my drawing doesn't really show where they go in relation to the fender. Here is a photo I took just before disassembly. You can just see the left baffle on the other side of the frame rail.
There was a loose spring between the fender and the baffle that you can see in the picture. Of course, I can't find the spring now.

That's where they go.IN front of the door,and behind the LARGE fender baffle.one side fastens to the bottom of fender,other to the frame.there should be a flat piece of channel with 5-6 bolts that sandwich the front of baffles to the car.

Look in the 49-54 Master Parts Catalog or the Fisher Body Catalog.
Very interesting site. Thanks to Keith Hardy.
