Errr... not too sure what you mean there mate ???
Identifying TX500/1200 is all in the shape of the cut-outs in the drop outs as far as I'm concerned ??? The angles/geometry should be pretty much identical - but the 500's are lighter as they are chro-mo ;)
Here is a better pic of that catalogue with some doodles on from me - If you ask me from your pics your forks are without question 1200's :daumenhoch:

hey boba, i'm pretty sure you're right, but if you click on the link on my previous post you will see that the cut outs in the drop outs of the 500's are clearly circular just like the 1200's. also the fork stem on the 500's is at an angle to the actual forks which is similiar to the forks i have (look at my side on photo of the forks and you'll see the angle). i'm not sure if the 1200's have this angle or if they are straight as i have never seen a side on photo.
anyway, i still agree i think they are 1200's. just need an id on the frame now. any idea?
think it might be an akisu but would be nice to know what bike it was made for.

Only other thing you can do then is weigh them ;)
My NOS TX-500's weigh in at 795g for reference (the 1200's will be heavier maybe by 50g or so not exactly sure really - sold the 2 pairs I had a long time ago ;) )
