Default K Frame Ivory grips

Found these Ivory K frame grips at a gun show a couple of months back. My first pair. I have trouble taking good pics of ivory so far.

Does anyone know who made them or what time frame?

Also are they elephant or?

Definitely elephant ivory, but I have no clue who made them. Beautiful, nice grain!

That's some nice color, very similar to this old set of pre-ban single action grips I have:




The box with yours looks like an earlier 2-piece Tyler Tru-Fit box. Here's a later 1-piece example:
