They are the King's Observers, a holdover from American football's early, English rugby roots, who is charged with making sure that the players use the King's English during all plays, that all players are Crown Loyalists (a requirement removed in 1979), and to ensure that the field is immediately avilable for polo by any Peers of the Realm. Seriuously, the guys with the K are in charge of the balls used only for kicking plays. These balls are new and not broken in in any manner. Balls handled by the guys in the X have been broken in and watered to enhance their handling qualities.
