Heavy mounted tillage equipment will put a heavy load on those clamps. Note that on the fast hitch tractors, fast hitch does not use those clamps, but pulls from underneath (at least on my 460), with bracing attached to the differential housing. I don't think there is nearly as much strain on the drawbar with a trailing implement as there would be with semimounted plow on the same brackets. I pulled a 3 disk "breaking plow" with my dad's H for several summers in the 50's, the main pull was from a bracket under the tractor, the axle clamps held the part of the lifting mechanism. For trailing implements, we only used the fixed drawbar as a support for the swinging drawbar, which attaches underneath.
