If you look at the first pic of the forks, on the inside of the left dropout it looks like it has been welded under the arrow. Skyway forks are prone to cracking so maybe he wasn't happy with just the weld and decided to double strength each side to be sure  :-\

Quite right Snav69,TA fork dropouts were very prone to cracking.I have a pair myself with some rather fetching
cracks in the dropouts.Could well find if he does remove the plates on these forks that there are some cracks underneath.
