What type of trucks do I have here? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

On a recent trip back to Long Island NY I picked up this set of die-cast trucks from a LHS. The box appeared new so I thought I was getting a pair of Lionel 6-14078 die-cast-sprung trucks as shown on the box. But when opened the box after returning home to South Carolina I realized I hadn't gotten the Lionel trucks but a different pair of die-cast trucks. These trucks do not bear any manufacturer's markings. The bolsters and the coupler assembly are definitely from the picture shown on the box. And mounting hardware is absent. Does anyone have any idea of which manufacturer produced these trucks? I guess I will need to find the correct size nut and bolt to attach them to rolling stock.

Thanks John. I'll have to pull them out and check to see if the caps rotate.

Probably bought by someone who couldn’t attach them, and returned in the wrong box.
