I notice back side has abbreviated teeth too. Maybe this is for re-sawing of timber, back teeth to reduce binding, possibly more kerf as well.
And what's going on with one in upper left of picture? Pretty inconvenient storage?

Some bandsaw mills have full teeth on both sides, carriage can cut traveling both ways, very efficient. These teeth look to be some thing else or they have hit some metal in the log and were damaged severely.
