So, I know I have garnered a reputation of Queen of the Clone brands, but I have come across a mystery pair that do not match anything I have come across before. I made a purchase of a mixed box of bricks in a flea market. It had a fair few M-Tron and classic pirates parts in, so despite the noticeable clones, the price made it something of a steal.

These are one kind of clone:

These are the others

Due to the main contents of this box being early 90's, I was thinking they might be from around then. As that put me at pre-10 I would not recall clone brands from that early on!

Also, they are not marked Tyco, I have a few of those (excellent quality) bricks from a handed down bucket and they are clearly marked with a Tyco brand. As Mega also brands their bricks and Best Lock were a different scale to LEGO bricks right up until the 2000s (plus there was some form of brand mark too). 

This is a mystery that will bug me, can anyone shed any light themselves?
