Interesting pumps. Look much like a fuel-rite and other brands of hand crank pumps here in the US with the addition of a volume chamber on top (the glass part) in the pumps mounted on the barrels. Probably work very much like the old glass topped pumps found across the US years ago, but which are now mainly collector items.
Did you see the octane numbers on the larger pumps? I'm guessing that is the Research Octane Number (RON), although those numbers would be a little low for RON. We use the Anti Knock Index (AKI) in the US on gas pumps which is (RON+MON)/2. With MON being the Motor Octane Number. The numbers on those pumps are high for AKI if thats what they are, but I doubt it.
