They are pressure sensors. They provide input to the computer so that it can shift the two speed travel between high and low range automatically.

As I recall they are mounted on top of the five spool main control valve.

My mistake, I was referring to the arm half flow solenoid. The labeled hose in the above photo should be the input line from the hydraulic pump.

The pressure switches on the PPC manifold signal the computer for the auto decal mode. The electrical component in the photo is a pressure transducer. Komatsu at that time made a Tee tool that would plug in between the computer and the machine harness. It had a function that would display the pump pressures sent from those transducers.
