What ARE these? canti brakes
Need help in identifying these brakes. Came off an old Independent Fabrication Planet X. They appear to be Ti (non-magnetic). Anyone know the maker or anything about them? Thanks!

Planet X would be a cross bike. If original equipment, Indy Fab might know.
Have you contacted them? They're very responsive to requests for info in my experience.

They look kind of like old Avid Tri-Align

Agreed, they're reminiscent of both the Paul Components' Stoplight MC and the Avid's Tri-Align but aren't an exact match. I'm leaning towards a development of the latter, based on the two flats for the spring tension adjustment nut, which was an Avid feature. Paul typically used four flats on this nut.

I have the same brakes - any luck identifying the manufacturer?
I have the same set of cantilevers that I am trying to identify. Did you have any further luck with this? These are on an earl 90s cross frame I picked up a few weeks ago.
