They look like my Smith Brothers but there is no guarantee there.

Money talks.

You would be surprised how many parts offered for sale by some companies come from the same manufacturer.

One perfect example - aluminum front drums for the 727.

Edit - Called white label or white box.

Agreed. Surface finish made me think Trend but the style of numeric etching made me think overseas.

I have a set of 7/16"x .165" Tapered. The shape looks like 440 Jims posted above. They are etched exactly like yours with the lengths and wall thickness only. No other markings. Since Trend is local here I always assumed they were Trend. Been in use 10 years since I bought them used. They came with my heads and T&D paired rockers. Never had an issue with them.

I'm sure they will make them any way you want them marked as long as the initial and all later order meet their minimum requirements for making them custom that way, they might even box them in your boxes also shruggy
I was told by Manton last year that they only build their pushrods as ordered, no standard shelf stock for any motor shock work shruggy
i buy one set at a time to use in my motors, very good product up
WAY better than Smith Bros. down At a better price for me also boogie
