What straplocks are these?

My Silhuette (-93) has strap locks. I thought that they were schallers but I'm not sure anymore: The part that is attached to the strap is not "U" shaped as in schallers. It is more like a "O" and then there are claws (2) that snap to the button in side the "O" shaped barrel. When detaching the strap, turn the knob and the claws loosen their grip and the strap is detached.

So far they seem to hold the guitar very well.
There is no text or symbol in the locks.

Does anyone know are these an earlier model of Schaller locks or what?
I've tied to "google" them but so far the closest I've found is the Schaller lock.

They were on the guitar when i purchased it (second hand) and I do not know wheter they are original or put there by the previous owner. Did MM/EB guitars come with locks in the beginning of 90's? If they did what make were they?

The original owner must have put them on. From the description they sound like Schallers.

I only have strap lock on 1 guitar and that my JP and they are Schallers, SteveLINY installed them.

I tried them out when I got the guitar and they seem to work well.

Since I usuaully play sitting down I don't use a strap.
