Maybe it's me, but even those Zim Gar's scream Hoshino to me. Those don't look like the Pearl made ones. Same with the Recco.

Jay the lugs and other hardware in question here is pretty darned uncommon

I do believe these were a super duper special Star build

The Zim Gar badge is identical to the small blue badges they used

But instead had a silver background rather the blue

I could not speak to the Recco badge as this thread marks my first time seeing Recco

Yep that is made by Kent and has a 2 ply maple shell ..
