FWIW, Browning introduced the 16-1/2" long Supertubes in 1965, for multi-gauge Skeet shooters.

Browning Supertubes should have the Browning name, or the gun's SN, marked on them.

If the tubes are full-length, but have either the Browning name or the gun's SN, then it's possible they were from when Browning was experimenting with the idea.

If the tubes are longer then 16-1/2", and/or unmarked, they were most likely made as an aftermarket addition by Purbaugh (Claude Purbaugh, Calif), long before Briley and/or Kolar were making tube sets.
