I've just taken home a Centec 2 horizontal mill that has an interesting vertical head that I assume was made by a previous owner. The vertical head uses the collets in the photo. Could anyone identify them for me please? 3/8th BSF drawbar. Asking in the (probably forlorn) hope that I may be able find some that will allow me to use metric cutters.

They have the look of DIY ones . No problem to make more similar – though you may like to design them a bit better !
