Need help identifying this exhaust

I’m looking at this exhaust and I’m not sure if this exhaust is for a dyna or softail on the back of each of the mounting brackets of the slip on it has the number d560 stamped on it but I can not seem to find any numbers on the head pipe itself

Judging by the rear mount I would say they are for a Softail.. The shorter ones resemble older Paughco's..

I have used Vance & Hines exhausts on three Softails, and one Dyna.

I currently run V&H Straight Shots on two Softails.

I agree with both the posters above.

I believe the longer ones in the center are a Vance & Hines exhaust product, and further believe them to be a set of V&H Straight Shots, as suggested by bustergut's install instruction attachment showing the bracket you mentioned. Because of the two-piece heat shields, I believe them to be an older set of Straight Shots.

The smaller pipes, although I can't see the mount for the farthest right, short pipe (which is most likely a rear cylinder header) I believe are a different manufacturer than V&H. I can see why 98hotrodfatboy thinks they are older Paughco's. Based on what I can see of them, I wouldn't dispute that call.
