Nice find! And they're in mint condition too.
is there any real benefit of running brakes on the back side of forks? it seems to be mainly a uk thing, pace etc. first time i have seen rigid forks doing it mind.. yeah i had a pair of Z1 BITD, i also could never quite work out why the big M cast disc mounts on both legs..
someone did explain to me once the "advantage" of having the brakes on the back of the fork legs ....... but i cant remeber what it was :? and to be honest it cant be that good or more forks would be like it !!and yeh ive only seen one other pair .. and that was on here on another Orange

The mounts go on backwards so that when you break the forces of stopping don't push the pads out as they grip the wheel but in, To reduce flex as you break..
