What kind of grips are these?

Well... Seems like I could possibly have found something "rare and interesting" after all, so I guess I won't be re-checkering them until we have a positive ID.

I just tried them on two DWM frames, and they seem to fit just fine. I seriously doubt that they are reproductions, the aging and the date on the back look 100% genuine. They are a bit snug around the grip screws so I couldn't get them all the way in, but everything else seems to line up and fit perfectly (safety, mag button etc), just like factory grips. I also tried to gauge the thickness, and they don't appear to be thin enough to be sanded and re-checkered.
