I've seen them the same as the top one, and I have around 40 or so various braces but that's the first I've seen with that pattern on a bit brace. I like that design. I think they look really good.

Not a pair, but the speed handle I got in my first 1/2" drive socket set back in 1956.  I still have it.

Have a couple of speeders like that but I've never ever seen a brace like that. Could that brace have been modified? I can not seem to find it in any of the catalogs I have.

Sure looks factory to me, just like Oilys,  the one I have is the only one I have seen in person.

I have that brace - well, one like it; you have that brace.  I'd intended to donate it, but keep coming back to putting it with the other braces.
