Help identifying and locating a connecting rod

I need 1 of the rods pictured. It's a small block Chevy 6" large journal and the pictured rod weighs 487 grams. Not sure of the brand, possibly a Manley Tour Lite???

I think Carr bolts are used on Carrillo rods .

Bolts might have been changed before. I'll try and find images of carillo rods and maybe send them a pic. I wouldn't mind finding a used one!

I've sent pics to Crower, Carillo and Manley to see what they say.
We did locate 1 rod but the big end is slightly different. The shop attempted to machine the big end to match the design and weight and he didn't have a cutter that would make a scratch in it.

You can see the difference in the big end, the rod we found is 563 grams.

Those look like Crower to me. I have the same rod in one of my engines and it has the same markings on the side of the crank bore. Crower is real good to work with. Good rods too.
