Said devices are generally indicative of a Tap On / Tap Off scheme. However their websites make no mention of it and I didn't see any such transactions yesterday, so either a TOTO zone will be introduced there in future or the readers are there for another purpose, whatever that is.

The machines have been on other Norfolk operators for quite a while including First and Sanders, but there has been no progress on actually introducing tap on tap off and there is no sign of it starting soon.

According to this document [Enhanced_Partnership_Plan_and_Scheme_Dec_2024.pdf] it's part of Norfolk County Council's BSIP (bus service improvement plan):

Measure /
facility /
intervention

Fare capping (BSIP funding for the readers)

Specific NCC commitment
Fund the installation of tap-off readers on all buses to enable fare capping ticketing systems to be introduced, for both single operator and multi-operator tickets

Specific OPERATOR commitment
Install tap-off readers on all buses toenable fare capping ticketing systems to be introduced.

Introduce single operator fare capping by March 2025.

Introduce multi-operator fare capping once the national Project Coral back-office set-up is implemented.

Make and keep up to date the necessary changes to any ticket machine software.

Timescale
Install readers by March 2025 then implement single operator fare cap roll-out by Sept 2025

A lot of background work has been done on this project. A major step forward was the agreement earlier this year for various zones within the County to have their own Fusion tickets. Tap and cap will come soon.
