Wow CBS...really hard for us to see anything in those pics. But from what I could see, very wide tooth. Good for soft or sandy soils. For rock or frost ground...forget it.

I call those paddle teeth, I only use them when finishing slopes, or smooth finished excavations, in soft soil conditions. On my machine they are about 120 bucks apiece, so I only use them when the conditions are right. On my bucket the space left between the teeth is only about 1/2 inch.

I was a the deere dealer about a year ago and they had some rubber/plastic teeth down there that kinda looked like that. They called them swampers for gettin in close to gas lines and stuff.

I do remember them being expensive though.
