Those look like a DIY job and not any production LL forks I've seen.

They are short LL forks, not Earles' forks. Earles' patent of 1951 has the pivot behind the tire. Here's a copy of the patent document:

LL forks may or may not have a hoop around the back of the tire. Greeves and Sachs/DKW/Hercules did, Guzzi GP bikes did not nor did the DOT LL forks.

cheers,
Michael
