No matter what engine they may have been made for you can tell that they have been run before just by looking in the pin bore,

By far the most important thing that you can’t tell ( no history on) is how long they have been run and up to how high a rpm they where taken up to!

Also compared to Aluminum rods today those MT rods where not made of the best formulation of Aluminum, and are not as good as rods made today.

If I was looking for used Aluminum rods I would try to turn up a set of Bill Miller rods that where used in a street build, otherwise take those and as posted make them into a lamp holder of bolt some together for a door stop or melt them down to block the exh crossover in iron heads used for racing.

The OP was pretty clear that he bought them as garage art.

Well aware they are used. I'm not that dense, I also clearly said they were gonna be garage art.
