Looks like very late Strathearn. Circa 1980 (if my memory serves well - which it hasn't always.)

Many Thanks for your thoughts Alpha, I am inclined to agree after been informed of a link via friendly associate by email which shows some experimental weights very similar to these by Strathearn. Sorted.

Hi Mac.  If you want 100% confirmation of the origin as Strathearn ask Dave Moir, who might well have made them.
