Case in point:

CHP may actually buy these off the shelf...they don't look like Folsom made units like the cages and shotgun racks.

They don't look like any consoles I've seen before. Must be a local company then... interesting.

not sure what would fit in these.... Troy brackets are 8.5 wide and the consoles are purported to be 9"

I think you're right. I forgot about this company - link has been in my favorites.

The baseplates look identical.
