I have the same thing as the pix you posted. Made by MR Control, Taiwan. Got them from a shop in Italy via scambay. If I ever take the bike to Aisa they will have made a complete trip around the world.
They work fine once you get them dialed in. Pretty light. If you remove the front wheel you have to screw down the cable screw and unhook the cable. Kind of like with Mt. bike rim brakes.

feather brakes seem pointless...like BT said, KCNC is the way to go. lighter...cheaper...arguably better looking...proven stopping power...proven quality modulation.
