Hi, this question has been asked before and answered as "manija", which is not right. It looks like a handle (see in Google images: http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1I7ADRA_en&tbs=i... but it is not a handle. These are attached to the outside of a vehicle, sometimes in series, for anchoring or tying down other elements, such as a canvas canopy.
It is a strange, archaic name in English, but apparently still in use. Perhaps it is called something much more commonplace in Spanish.
Thanks ahead of time,
Alan

asidero
Hello, Alan, long time since we had contact.
From the look at it, it is a kind of bracket to grab on (which also makes sense, as the footmen in the past had to travel outside the vehicles and needed something to grab on).
I'd translate it as "asidero".

Alternatively, you might use "asa", but "asidero" is the "asa" used on a vehicle (e.g., train, bus, car, etc.)

barra de techo
another option:
based on your description, saying"These are attached to the outside of a vehicle, sometimes in series, for anchoring or tying down other elements, such as a canvas canopy."
footman's loop= barra de techo ( o manija)
Hope it helps
Saludos a todos :))
