Wheel Rim ID

I recently bought a set of vintage wheels and hubs to replace a pair of MAVIC tubular wheels on a Mercier I am currently working on. Having dismantled the replacement wheels and having had them rebuilt professionally, I am trying to identify the rim brand. They were advertised as Shimano but, whilst the hubs certainly are, I doubt that the rims are Shimano. Both rims have the remnants of what appears to be an oval decal which has been completely bleached out. It looks like it is vinyl and is fairly thick. Having researched I have seen both Ambrosia and Rapida with oval decals although the Rapida look a little bigger than what remains of mine.

Any ideas?
