The 'unknown' set from my post were pulled from my '49 216 and were running on a steel camshaft - suggesting chilled iron construction. They are not worn suggesting cam-lobe and lifter face are compatible. The absence of holes (top or sides) is most curious. No idea who manufactured them or when . . .
