    I would think these have been custom fabricated.

    You are a few weeks too late..i only recently sold one similar.
    Be aware that roof racks mounted to the gutters on series Land Rovers squash all the rubbers between the roof/side sections and the tub.
    The one i sold was fabricated from Steel and was a good solid unit, but rather heavy, so once loaded you end up with a fair amount of weight up there.
    I have an Aluminium boat-rack to suit a series that is for sale.
    It could be utilised/remodeled as the base for a roof rack.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Gutter mounted.
    Here are a few pics of it.
    The front tapered down in line with series hardtop roof line.
    It also had rollers on the rear to assist with loading a tinny onto it.
    As well as a ladder that folded down the side and rested against a rear tire.
    It was very well built, but very heavy to go with it.

    Cheers, Mick.
