Can you measure the fork tube diameter? Confirm whether it's 39mm or 41mm (appears too large visually for 35mm (old stuff, but keeping in mind that the sliders are old stuff...early 80's and earlier))

I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you which ones they are specifically. Take it to a good independent Harley repair shop and I'm sure an experienced mechanic will be able to tell you which ones they are.

When you measure, also post a good pic of the sliders and that should confirm identity

The trees are custom and not all that important for parts acquisition.
