In the first picture I see a little tinge of a redish color. They look a lot like the sugar snaps I have growing in my back yard right now.

I am not at all familiar with them but here is a guess: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canavalia_gladiata]sword beans, Canavalia gladiata (click).[/url]

Don't really know but what do you think of this information:

and,

It is entirely possible that I am completely wrong.
