These came with a set of non-leading axle forks, so I assume they're from the same bike.

Can measure off-set if needed, but they look like non-leader triples.

theyd be TT500c-e 76-78 tripple trees had straight forks/solid handle bar mounts TT500f gh had leading axle /solid handle bar mounts same as yz125/it175def,
XT 500c-f had straight forks/rubber mounted handle bar clamps and hole/slot in steering stem for steering lock and XT500gh had l/axle forks and rubber mount bars.
tanks and frame tank mounts are different between the straight and leading axle forks also

Thanks for the info guys.

Scrap metal run is rapidly approaching... Alloy is still 60c/kg, so it looks like they're worth more as scrap than parts.
