think so too. these are 2nd generation onza ti barends.
Deffo Ti.
These are first gen with welded on bar clamps. Yours are second gen with bonded clamps (probably to reduce costs).

I will bow to greater know how but are you sure those are Ti ?
My thinking :
The welds are not as neat as the onza ti's I have seen.
The darker matt ti finish looks lighter and more shiney where they are scratched - is it just a ti ano look ?
I would pop an end plug out and take a file to the inside bore and see how hard the material is.

I'm of the same opinion.
Looks like ally anodised to look like Ti.
But happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong.
Shove them in a naked flame and see if they turn the flame green/blue.
