Long Roadholder top yokes

I have just been given a set of Long Roadholder forks with the top yoke having two small riser type handle bar clamp. Does anyone know what years and models this type of top yoke was used on?

They are the Pre-Fetherbed non rubber mounted type where the clamps are clamp to two round dowels either side of the top yoke and act like risers to the handlebars.

Hey,

If you want to play "Where's Waldo", you can find the handlebar clamps just above the handlebars in one pix. The other pix shows the top yoke with its "Dowles".

These are pix of my sickly '48 ES2 thatI am SLOWLY restoring.
