Those look like "stripline" RF/microwave packages. PCBs will have cutouts
for the package body, so that the leads can be soldered flat (no bends)

Yes, microwave. And the wide connection strips suggest high power devices, so perhaps
power transistors (though why so many leads is unclear) or MMIC amplifiers.
