Mystery W-irons

I recently bought a job lot of various Slaters part-build MR wagons in 7mm and the lot included some etched W-irons of a manufacture I didn't recognise. mystery w-irons.jpeg

There was also a PB coil spring about 1mm diam x 5mm long.

Does anyone know what I've acquired?

The look like the set I have sat in front of me know apart from the U shaped etched part. but that also looks like an etch the slaters style.

The U part fits around the Slaters wagon axle box, which then slides into theW iron, and holds the spring in place between the two pips.

The "U" section isn't used now because the bearing blocks come with a pip already on. The etch has however not been modified.
