I thought it was Advent Imaging, but anyway...

Advent were a major user of PERQs in the UK at one time. I got my T4 (!) 
from them, and a lot of other fun toys, including a prototyping card, a 
couple of OIO cards, spares, etc. And even an on-topic digital camera...

I would guess these are PERQ disks. You could try mounting them on a POS 
machine and/or using the floppy program (they may well be 'interchange 
format' (close to RT11...) disks).
