Sorby extra heavy duty skew and scraper width? - Pirate - 11-08-2017

I got a couple of Sorby lathe chisels at an estate sale, and can't id them. One is a skew and the other is a scraper.
They are 1 29/32" wide and 11/32" thick.
Are these the extra heavy duty Sorby chisels, listed as 1 1/2" wide and 3/8" thick" ?  
I can't find a listing for this size.
Thanks for any help

With sizes like that, it almost makes me think they're European tools.

1 29/32 is about 48mm
11/32 is about 9mm
