Need help identifying unmarked blades

A few years ago I purchased a lot of ten blades from a seller on ebay planning to build a couple of folders with spare blades. Due to various circumstances and need to acquire tools and materials I am only now getting close to actually doing it. On occasion I would do a bit of searchung to try and figure out the origin of the blades. The blades have no information on them and are ground but unsharpened.

Today I found a knife model that looks like a close match. The blades I have are about 4 3/8" overall and 4" from center of the pivot to the tip. Based on the slightly concave curved area and grooves at the blade's spine, the notch near the thumb lever, shape of the lever, slight difference in the upper end point of the left and right hollow ground areas, and overall shape of the blades I have to wonder if they were intended for Kershaw 1580MC knives. Opinions or other suggestions as to possible origin?

Yep those are kershaw Boa blades; they even have a hole for the torsion bar. The early blades were 440v before they switched the steel to s30v.
