Edscoble, they are Berthoud: http://www.gillesberthoud.fr/anglais/index1.php
I'm slightly annoyed because I had wanted the extra long mudguards (rear is the same, but the front projects another 4 or 5 inches forwards) so that it projected in front of the mini front rack which is still to be fitted. Unfortunately, they didn't have them in stock so I've had to go with the 'normal' length ones, which are the same length as SKS but not quite what I wanted.
The Berthoud ones are pretty inexpensive so you don't feel bad about powder coating them. I couldn't do this to a Honjo...
Oh, and you realise just how comparatively easy it is to set up SKS guards with that extra stay! These are proving a lot more work (doesn't help that the rear guard touches the seat tube).
