Ah ha! Found the answer, they are flotation devices, from this
article:
https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2016/december/01/spruce-goose-dominates-oregon-museum
"A flotation system included inflatable beach balls stashed between
ribs and a pair of Franklin engines on the flight deck provided juice
for the avionics, hydraulics, and other systems."
