I believe they are from one of the pre-WW II Standard (320 ci) or Super (385 ci) 8 cylinder motors, the ones with the aluminum crankcase and cast iron bores. The roller followers are attached to pivoting arms, part way up each is a hardened steel pad which pushes the lifter up. I wouldn't say anything for these engines is exactly plentiful, but they are rarely needed for a rebuild.
