I used the google photo and it comes up with all types of stuff pottery ,BMW E90 diff ,Kenworth W900 diff all different things .I showed my Father in Law the picture he seems to think the same as you guys that it's Girling as well .He said take them of and give them a good clean there should be markings on it somewhere .
