Weird lugs on back of TV socket

OK, bought a couple of new screened TV-FM diplexed socket outlets for my distribution system.

However, there are these weird spikey lugs (for want of a better description) that stick out either side of it, that serve no apparent purpose.

Here's another pic with the front plate removed.

So, any ideas what these are for?

They are for a European modular system. Cut them off if you like.

Probably easier just to unscrew them, judging by the photo.

It's a universal one designed to go into both circular Euro and square UK backboxes.

When fitting in a Euro backbox, as you tighten the lug screws, the lugs grip the backbox and pull the faceplate backward flush with the wall.
