Yep Hi-E. The heavier duty hubs like these are quite reliable, I put 40K miles on a set, then had them rebuilt like new. That set is from about 1980 and had the reflective stickers (that lead to no markings). My Hi-E track hubs from 1988 or so (custom 92 / 100 mm width by the way are laser cut or something with the Hi-E logo.

So thats a rough bracket.
