Re: anyone know what grips these are?
From clean cuts, finishing and type of wood looks like Altamont. However, that just can't be comfortable. I mean your middle finger is closer and on different level than the rest of them. Usual grips strive to give more space to the middle finger and pull the rest closer, not further. Like your pinky is actually shorter, not the other way around )))

Re: anyone know what grips these are?
Tripscape might be correct in assuming that this is Altamont grips. Although Altamont's Ultima Target line of grips has a thumb rest shelf. So it might be an old version or another company that copied concept. As for usability of such grips design for Precision Pistol, - that is very interesting question. Typical recommended grip pressure vector comes from middle finger pressing straight back opposing the palm web between thumb and trigger finger. Pinky and #4 fingers have very little contribution in overall grip, although important nonetheless, - see thread "feeling center" or better yet read Bruce Martindale's book on the subject (page 27 and so on in my copy, and this is were TOTO and uncurl concepts come to play!). Same is suggested by John Zurek (per my attendance of his clinic). Although with JZ's arm size and strengths, two fingers might be all he needs. Definitely no enough for me. Yet, as I'm learning how to apply Bruce's and JZ's recommendations, this type of grips are intriguing.
With that, I'm sorry to divert from OP question. Might be interesting to hear what Bruce Martindale has to say.

They are pretty but pretty smooth and probably harder to use well due to up roll and pressure from the wrong fingers. Not saying you can't make them work but BE is hard enough, you don't need to work harder
