Default Does this shift linkage logo look familiar?

I found these 3spd floor shifter linkage rods attached to the transmission in a '57 T-Bird.
They look new and the rest of the car is quite oily & dirty underneath. The rods may be stock replacements, or not.

The shifter itself is still in the car and I don't have photos of the business end of it yet. The hole in the floor looks to have been altered and I'm not sure what to look for to tell the difference between after-market and original shifters.
The shifter seems pretty floppy and I suspect it needs attention and repair so I'm hoping to find out what brand it is.
More photos early next week if needed. (the car is in a friends garage about 10 miles away)

Wrong picture, and I don't seem to be able to delete it.

Trying again. From Concours Parts catalog. All the aftermarket shifters I had mounted to the transmission, not the floor. That doesn't mean someone didn't cobble one up.

One additional thought. Guys are having a hard time finding the aftermarket shift kits for the o/d transmissions. If its an o/d, and mounted to the transmission, that's a plus. If it's cobbled up to the floor pan, who knows. As far as I know, the factory bird shifter was the same for std and o/d, T-85 and 86. But don't take that to the bank.
