(note: It's been a while since I've posted an image to bikeforums--it's not letting me upload my photo, and I can't seem to get the code to work for the image url. Does anybody know why this is? )

Yep, appear to be Control Techs, hope you have all the hardware to go with them. They will not work without every other part I think.

Recent 94 MB-1 I scored came with them, they seem to work well but I can't imagine they tolerated much abuse despite being pretty dang cool.
