Default Sprocket add on options

I think they could be Loyd sprockets. I think the extra width is to help guide the track (help it stay on)
Loyds had a series of radiused angle brackets that bolted on with the sprocket locating bolts.
There was one for each pair of bolts.
Maybe these sprockets here were an interim idea to solve a problem, before the boffins came up with the cheaper option of the things I have just mentioned (which I assumed were a standard Loyd part) I believe these were also fitted to the universals, on occasions
A parts book could help, ..anyone?
You can barely see what I'm talking about on this Loyd
