What Forks???

Doing some work to my missus' scooter and wanted to upgrade the front suspension. It's a Sportique but the previous owner fitted different forks to take a 10" wheel. I've got the light blue Haynes manual and the later red one but what I found doesn't look like any of the forks shown. Any idea what these might be off and it looks like they have bodged a bit of ali to stop the pins with to flat sides from turning?? Is this just to replace a standard part or is it a bodge or something??? :? Any comments or advice on where to start to strip thes would be much appreciated. :)

Its a bodge to replace a standard washer that doed the same job - just replace it with the standard flat/bent washer. The forks look like the standard VBB set up (Sprint forks would be too long) what has been changed is the hub only (looks like a sprint hub)

It's got 10" wheels so that's why I was thinking Sprint, maybe GL or something else but are you saying it might be standard forks but with a Sprint hub?
