SR250 Forks? and a twin leading shoe? Maybe off something else?.....................you tell me :-)

Hello Geezers.
Im just into starting a new project, which came in many boxes. Part of the treasure was a pair of non descript forks, 32mm with a "marzocchi" decal on one leg? I don't know if they are actually a pair of marzocchi, as the decal might not be original? Like I said the bike came in many boxes. The original SR250 forks are toast so I'm going to try and use these? Can anyone identify them? Im assuming they are from that era, the '80s? They are disc type as they have caliper mounts on one leg.
Just to complicate things, also in the haul was a nice looking twin leading shoe wheel and hub. I want to use this in the setup. Its got Yamaha cast on the internals but the spindle bore is a weedy 12mm? Think the original SR250 was 14mm? Again any ideas what bike it might be off?
I'll get some better pics and dimensions if needed.
Yes I know it's a drum going on a disc fork...but hey that's half the fun yeah

Cheers

The shape of the lowers certainly doesn't scream 'Japanese'. They 'look' European to me but that's just a totally uninformed guess based purely on style.

no clue but you can cut the disk mounts off and smooth the forks to hide that they are disk.

Cheers guys. Bit of a mystery they are nice and firm compared to the soft and rubbery stock SR250 units. More research required? I think the twin leading shoe maybe off an RD125/200 or Xt250?
The plan is to shave off the disc mounting bosses and tidy the lower up a bit
The offending decal.......

Yours look very similar to these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAIR-OF-DU...660201?hash=item1f16368de9:g:PwMAAOSwxr1fW2lf

they do only single disk vs dual

Awesome spot....they do look very similar. I'll do some extra research thanks

They may be from a Royal Enfield. Nope...checked RE is 35mm. I know a guy who has 32mm Maz forks on a RE frame. Contacted him and he thinks they are Ducati or Benelli.

You may want one of the caliper mounts for the stay of the drum brake plate.
