When I bought my '78 DE38, it had 2 stainless sockets each port & stbd. in the cockpit deck - I had not seen them on the previous 4 DE38s I had sailed.
Figured out they're (possibly) for a removable backrest so, made one with 2 x 3/4" s.s. tubes + 2 s.s. bolts & wing-nuts + 1 2x4 and a little paint ... and it actually works!
1 stbd. socket (close-up).
2 port sockets
Backrest installed on stbd. side.

Nice and simple. Here is a photo of a more elaborate DE backrest.

Interesting! I've been trying to figure out if I want to add some sort of coamings/backrests to my cockpit.
Do you have any more pictures of the backrests and coamings on your boat?

That first photo was a file photo (owner/boat unknown) that I had of a back rest for DE 38.
(Notice the primary winch mounts.)
This is also a file photo (owner/boat unknown) of a similar backrest on a DE 32.
Jason Rose has a great write-up on a coaming that he constructed on DE 32 s/v Bodhran:
