_bbb_, These are the Subsea Accumulator Modules mentioned in a Feb PR. The Steel Flying lead and J-plate are not in the picture. I'm guessing they'll be installed at some point.

"The first unique innovation is a Subsea Accumulator Module (SAM),
consisting of Subsea Deployment Baskets (SDB) with attached accumulators, a
built-in steel flying lead, a J-plate, and a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV)
panel. Several of these units will be shipped. The SAM has been designed so
that it may be transported without a wide load permit and set on a vessel.
Once on the vessel, the wings of the SDB can be retracted, and the system will
be pre-charged with pressurized control fluid. Thereafter, the SDB can be
simply lifted off the deck of the vessel and placed on the seabed. Once on
the ocean floor, the vessel will lift and pull out the built-in steel flying
lead from the SAM with its own down-line cable. A ROV will be used to guide
the steel flying lead from the SAM and connect it to the Hydraulic
Distribution Manifold (HDM). The ROV will be further deployed to open valves,
wherein the SAM will provide plug-n-play subsea accumulation capabilities to
augment the existing subsea distribution control system with localized volume
and pressure control features. The SAM will also serve as an anode skid,
designed to carry additional anodes. It will be grounded to the structure in
order to provide additional cathodic protection to the HDM. The entire SAM
can also be easily retrieved and serviced on deck, further improving the
ability to retrieve subsea hardware."
