Anyone recognise these bore brushes?

Does anyone recognize what they are from? Considering the scrapyard's history, I would guess at either 106 recoiless or else 105 Leopard. In the photo below are 3 of the brushed I found next to the typical 105 brush and it's storage bag.

Rob, Check with the local gunners to see if the larger brushes are from the demo mechanical bore cleaning machines we trialed a few years back.

I can't see folks hauling on those long brushes - sometimes it was a chore for all seven members of a 105 det to pull thru a barrel - particularly if the barrel was new and the bore brush was new.

Fond memories...
