Generally speaking;
Aluminium = after market
Steel = stockers
Grab a magnet and check. My guess if they are gold is after market.

They are definately aftermarket. Who makes them? Who knows... there are alot of aftermarket bar companies out there.

They look to me like Renthals.
If you are interested I have a top triple clamp that should fit your bike to position your handlebars around an inch further forward. Your 6'2"ish aren't you ?? If so that will help with the cramped ergos / bars in lap situation.

My 92 YZ250WR came with a set of O'Neals that looked a lot like that. They broke one day right at the clamp....
