Do you mean the Brooklands-style racing screens mounted on top of the
cowl, for use with the windscreen folded down? If so, Brooklands was the
best-known brand but not the only one.
Or do you mean the wind wings attached to the sides of the windscreen?
If so, these were made by Amco and several other companies.
Either way, they were aftermarket accessories, not original equipment.
