Japanese tuners that Guild used in the 70s on some models. I have the same type on my F112 (only 6-on-a-side.) Maybe Hans knows where to find a set.

Howdy, Heath. I have that exact set, if you'd like to message me. I'm not sure about ferrules and screws, but I'll pull out the parts drawer and look around.
I think this photo came from Hans, and while mine are in good, untarnished, rust free condition, they aren't spit shined like these.

Check out Steve's stockpile. I saw several Waverly with plate shapes similar.
I'd also put this pic up on the UMGF. Member 'Grateful Dad', (Jim Dulfer) has a large tuner stash.

I have half a set which I picked up as spares for my F30.
Is there a treble and bass side on these, or is it the same tuners installed the other way?

I believe you can take them completely apart and switch the tuner button with the shaft around by 180 deg. So they should be the same parts for left and right and it simply depends how you reassemble them to get the bass and trebble side.

Actually those buttons are different, more vintage Grover rather than the flat wide F30 buttons, not that it makes a lot of difference if the spacing and screw holes are correct, this is just cosmetic, or maybe earlier F30's? Mine is a '71.
Here's my half a set, bought them just because I could, but no real need, "just in case".

Yes, that set was for a different, earlier tuner hunter. Not sure what guitar/year Adrian is trying to outfit.
Thanks for all your help everyone … I’m after a ‘71 set in chrome finish. The 1/2 set Guildagain has posted are different!!! I stupidly bought a set of those without checking the sizes … they’re nickle plated and don’t fit 
… I’m guessing Guild might’ve used both options?!?!? … I’m going to email Hans and hope he’s still got a chrome set tucked away!!
Thanks again to everyone so far.

Hi, I’m bumping this again with fingers tightly crossed … sadly Hans (who was really kind) hasn’t been able to help so far so I’m praying as I type this!!
Thanks everyone for their help so far …. GUILDAGAIN almost won first prize but not quite ..

That doesn't sound like a Japanese tuners, nickel would be American.
Sorry about the confusion… I’m after a chrome finish with a smaller tuner button than the ones you have, the plank size is slightly different as well.

Here's the backside of my F30 headstock, looking mostly like my spare part.
