Thanks for the input. sorry for the ambiguous pic's, the flanges are slighty canted.
I think the Holdsworthy associated brand was Milremo - back in the day when the UK was trying to copy the European style in so many ways (from Lambretta scooters to Tuti-Frutti Ice-ed-a-creama).
I've had FB, Gnutti, Airlite, Way Assauto, Brit Hub Co, in the past; these are similar but not from the same moulds IMHO. The worst news it that I've got 2 sets of the buggers which I aquired on different bikes - just my luck ;-)
My latest theory is that they are a cheaper variation of the FB made for Simplex Italy - but without the branding. Mine only have a single row of flange holes and the axles are not drilled. This link shows a single sided rear hub, which has elements of my front and rear hubs where the barrel presses into the flanges.
