The LE thingies are vortilons. Here are some links I have bookmarked.

This is the notice telling Long-EZ builders that vortilons are now mandatory:

This is some pictures from a Velocity builder's log:

This one has a drawing of the vortilons as used on VariEzes:

This one shows all the excresences on a 737-200:

The vortilons are just past half way down.

These are fairly old so a google search would probably find a lot of new stuff
