Just check the steerer tube to determine if they're Tange.

They'll be stamped Tange on the steerer and also if they're Kuwahara the steerer will be a bit longer than normal since the Kuwahara 24 has a 5" head tube.

do they have a flat line on inside and front face of forks ?

What those forks are, I would say they are long, well longer than 20" forks, but not as long as 26" forks.

Thank you

I've had some 24" TRX and they've all been for 4" Head-tubes & made to the same spec as 20" TRX (Oval Tubes with flat edge front & rear, Internal Spiral Stem etc). Maybe the Tange made 24" Kuwahara TRX for 5" HT had round tubes like their 20" versions? They should all be stamped in the same sort of place ;)
