What are these wood dowels for?

We have found in various overhead storage bins 1/4" dark stained wooden dowels of various lengths. all are stained to match the wood inside the motorhome. Are they something FT did or are they after the fact? To short to be for the window slide stop. Most are about 3 to 4 " long. Curtain pulls?

They may be drawer stops for your can drawers.  Pull one all the way out and see if you see a hole near the rear of the drawer

To follow up on Rudy's thought, I would pull the draws in the pantry. Mine had dowels originally but the holes had wallowed out and the dowels were replaced with split pins.
Oop, can draws......pantry ?

Yes. They are dividers for the pantry shelves. Although, they shouldn't be different lengths. As I recall all mine were the same.
