Help with pedal ID
I can't seem to find a marking or anything on these pedals to indicate brand. Google search isn't helping at the moment either. Any help is appreciated.

they certainly look British
may have come with a nominal bicycle brand but likely produced by someone such as Brampton
suggest checking online for some Brampton printed materials; you may locate this model within the listings there...
keep in mind that Brampton of France also produced pedals
advert of 1926 -
shall look forward to read what our experts have to write...

These are the closest I can find through a google image search for “steel quill pedals,” but I don’t think they correspond to the labels. The links lead to aggregator sites that don’t have any actual details, so it’s a weak lead...

fine detective work!
the SR200 ID on picclick is erronenous
Notario it is! (ES)
have yet to locate a brochure or advert for Notario models
some models of Zeus and Alfa bicycles came fitted with Notario pedals

Small clue, but there is an “L” and an “R” stamped into the ends of the spindles, indicating side position and inch threading. Was this practice more common to one age or region?
edit: I see now Juvela’s confirmation of the ID.

Go Ask Alice
Dustcap/endcap appears consistent with a Phillips product, from what little is visible of them in OP's photos? Dustcaps appear to be distinctive to brands.
"Phillips "Apollo" Pedals 1950's
England
These nicely made chromed steel rat trap pedals came stock on Phillips and Raleigh lightweight bicycles during the 1950's and 1960's."
The source for this pic and text, Speedplay's "Bicycle Pedal History Museum," is a fine and tidy rabbit hole.
(It's definitely not this:
"Unknown Maker Possibly 1970's
France
This is a novel design for an aero-type pedal and cleat.")

the Phillips Apollo pedals were produced by Brampton
unfortunately, this dustcap pattern was employed by other makers as well...
...including some Yank ones going back to the golden age
the R and L markings on pedal spindle ends do not rule out non-British origins as they were employed by some continental pedal producers to indicate that pedal thread was 9/16" as opposed to 14mm
here is a box pattern pedal from Brampton which exhibits large circular cutouts in its plates, the same dustcap pattern as our subject pedal and a similar spindle end shape
[photo from Speedplay museum]
note that while the b&w image illustrates an example with saw teeth the photo shows a later product with differing dentition which resembles that of the subject pedal
---
the one feature of the subject pedal for which have found no match is the crimping detail of a line in the middle of the crimping tab which secures the plate to the body
all Brampton identified examples found thus far lack this line
it may be that the manufacturer simply varied this crimping detail with time...
