Help identifying these "shock absorbers"

Can anyone identify these? I'm mostly just curious. These accessory shock absorbers were on my car when I bought it. I've not seen them before but that doesn't mean they aren't common. Can anyone identify them? The spring perches are moved to opposite sides of the axle and installed facing outward toward the wheel. Then the lever arms are connected to both the perch and the leaf spring. The small coil springs are attached to the other end of the arm and some rings are added to the spring perch for the other end of the springs.

I guess I should have searched a bit more. This previous post from 2009 http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/80 ... 1256526518 identifies several that are similar. Lake, Liberty, and H.D. They don't have the name cast on them like the Lake brand. They mostly look like the Liberty and H.D brands.

There were several makers of that style. Should have a name on the arms. I might have ones that look like yours. These pictures are of similar styled shocks.
These look most like yours.
If not marked then ther not these
