If they are Whitefriars (James Powell & Sons) they will usually have a highly polished concave shaped pontil to the base.

Unfortunately, lots of companies used highly polished concave pontil marks, so that is not a good indicator

They have a Thomas Webb look about them, but I wouldn't be able to confirm them as that for certain.
