Are These Chessmen Reproductions of a Historical Set?

While looking for information on vintage chessmen, I found photos of these chessmen:

The owner says they are about two inches tall, made of plastic, and came in a box labeled "The Martock Chess Set." A Web search didn't reveal any other chessmen like these, but it did tell me that Martock is the name of an English town with some archeological sites.

Can anyone tell me if these are reproductions of a historical set, or if they're just an obscure themed set inspired by some historical chessmen?

Thanks. I've found photos of the Isle of Lewis Chessmen ...

... the 14th-Century German Chessmen ...

... and various incomplete Medieval chess sets ...

... I just couldn't find anything that matched the Martock set.

If no one here recognizes it, I'll just guess it's a modern chess set with a historical theme.

Thanks. It does look like the same set, but the seller don't have any information about the design.
