I think they would have been in production around the time the Toy animatronics were out. When the Toy designs were scrapped and they revamped the brand yet again, they cobbled together an older endoskeleton and slapped the shiny casing on top. I also don’t think the two ever worked with the main crew, they were probably a rentable animatronic or one that worked the floor at a sister location (such as where the Mediocre Melodies were stationed at).

Smile for Miles! Chuckles has a camera built into his mouth, its job is to take candid photos of patrons and print them out after the payment is inserted into the slot in its top hat.

 It can also be prompted for photos when you pull on the red ball on a cord. This will lift the dickie (fake button-up shirt) and Chuckles will pop out to take the photo.

A very low quality screen on Chuckles chest will show you a preview of your photo (think gameboy camera) and print it in the same quality- if not worse.

Miles and Chuckles were built with extending arms. Chuckles are to tempt fickle patrons to pay up. Miles’ arms are used to putting up decorations, fun visual effects, and hugging the kids! Though, he isn’t allowed to hug anyone anymore.

Miles’ long arms are made up of colourful, segmented plates that pinch skin and even dismember digits if they get between the small grooves as he moves around.

Both Miles and Chuckles eyebrows have motion capabilities, with the ability to go up and down quite quickly to mimic human playfulness. They can also raise 1 at a time for that Pixar poster look.

Miles can be quite scary to some, as with mismatched endo and exo they dont really fit together and make some features look ‘wrong’. His eyes can look sunken into their sockets, leaving a lot of void where the whites of his eyes should be. And being somewhat more humanoid gives many the ‘ick’ of uncanny valley.
