'Twas a time that builders used special bolts in seatpost binders. They were a socket and bolt combo that fit through holes in the seat lug tabs. One side was free to spin (the bolt side) and the other side (the socket side) had a key on the collar that fit into a slot cast into the lug to prevent it from turning.
Those slots are there for the "key" on the socket side of the seatpost bolt arrangement. One could choose which side to put the keyed socket in I guess, but you'd never use both keyed sides at the same time or you would be able to tighten the seatpost binder.
