I can't imagine they are from the factory, but they seem to have been added long ago. Maybe by the original owner when it was new

Chances are they were added to reinforce a very badly damaged, easily warped bell.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
