I seem to remember reading that they were British items. I don't know if the Canadian aerials used them or not. My NOS guy ropes didn't include any.
It's possible that the rings were added later (if they found a problem with the pegs wearing through the cord), but I wouldn't bet on they. The WW2 34-ft mast kits I've seen had stays with rings fitted.

Your guy ropes are for the Canadian 20-ft mast and 34-ft aerial, both telescopic varieties, which have the stayplates permanently fitted to the mast/aerial.
