Wizards of Morcar Men at Arms prototypes

Hey all, I think I've managed to locate metal prototypes for the Men at Arms... I say prorotypes because they seems to be the Men at Arms counterpart of the unreleased metal Wizards you sometimes see around.
They are not part of the general Empire Foot Soldiers with swappable weapons line released for WFB - so they're an unreleased model - and they do look like the WoM men.
Here's a pic: WoM plastic mini, two sides of the metal one, the released Empire foot soldier that's closest to the plastic model. Actually, the only big difference is in the head: no faceguard and the feather in the correct position.
It has been confirmed that independent metal minis would be created for playtesting and promotional purposes, sometimes with slightly different features compared to the final plastic production minis. In this case, the bag sits on the opposite side.
Any thoughts? They're marked as GW 91, which happens to be the same marking on the back of (at least some of) the Wizards' prototypes.
