Not at the mo, but they have an oval shape cross bar, gt coin stamp on the front left side and knurling if that helps, they measure 28x8 (roughly  ) 

Thanks

They'll be early 90's bars {91 to 96) you have ,,,they were quite easily available NOS in the bag for £42 ,,,,around 3 or 4 years ago


There were earlier oval crossbar bars , but they have two straight rings of knurling ( not cross) and horizontal GT coin stamp , these date approx 86 onwards


Anything with cross knurling and a vertical GT coin stamp are  mid 90's onwards  I think

Someone else will confirm or correct this though  


Only GT bars  that have no knurling at all  ,,,are from 1984 and before
