I wasn't sure if the pics were the same in all versions of the big book.

Remember that the Stanley catalog cuts were done with engraved block
prints, not photos. It could be that the block never looked like the real
thing, or that they gave the engraver an early trammel to look at, then
changed it before it became real production.  Or yours are real early.

And our friend Jim Bode has a set that looks identical to your knobs, and
he claims they are Stanley

Great Planes (lot #33) has a similar set, also claiming Stanley

& #36 here

I guess we'll never know for certain without the name cast or stamped into
the trammels.  Or a better catalog image coming out.
