I suspect these are 4340 EN24 Forged H-Beam Conrods from MaxSpeedingRods http://www.maxspeedingrods.com/parts/rods%20items/CRpartslist.htm

They look pretty much identical to eagle rods.

Interesting that they offer an L-19 rod bolt upgrade for $3 each!

They look pretty good quality, what's your verdict on them?

Can’t believe you didn’t drop the valves whilst grinding all that material away, careful with how much you grind away and what shapes you end up with or you will end up with cracks. Dorris
