Does anyone recognise what kind of shocks were used on this race bike?

or this one?

Are they Girlings?

Any knowledge about these shocks or what might have been used on a Rickman factory Production Race bike at that time (the photos date to 1977 and 1978) or a pointer as to where I might find out would be most appreciated.

Thanks to all those who have replied to date - it has helped me while trying to identify the shocks on the Tony Holland race bike.

The shocks on the race bike are identical to these shown on the picture below:

Anyone know if these are Girlings too?

If so anyone know if a pattern is available - the Hagon/Girloin/Hagings

are not the same as these.
