Can anyone identify the make and model of these handlebars?

As usual the Rivendell site is full of words but not a lot of information.

I'm thinking Nitto Albatross or Dove.

edit- not the so-called "Dove" bars, as there's bar-end shifters in there. they wouldn't take barcons without modification

I'd go with Alba bars. Grant sells the doves, but doesn't like them for anyone but kids or smallish (typically women) riders. Chances are, since 99% of the staff there are men, they'd be albatross.
