Cheers for the info. Looks like they'll be going back then.
Which leaves me with four options (in no particular order of preference).- Velo Orange 650b x 50mm snakeskin
- Velo Orange 650b x 52mm zeppelin
- Not run mudguards at all, and put the 48mm tyres back on
- Ask Winston to put canti mounts on f/f, respray, buy some cantis from somewhere, and run 48mm tyres with mudguards.
- Velo Orange 650b x 50mm snakeskin

You can't re-radius stainless steel mudguards anyway. I've tried with no success, and emailed Berthoud about that, who confirmed that without specialized tools you can't re-radius them like you can with aluminium ones.
And don't mount them with stress like I did (i.e. don't push or pull them into place with the struts), they will crack.
