The question now is- if those weren't 1098 forks...

That is not a Monster triple. A Monster triple would have the mounting location for the headlight U bracket.

That triple could also be a 748/749/848 with non-adj. steering head. Need more info.

They are not Monster forks. Monster forks would have the mounting location for the headlight U bracket.

Monstermash,
You are right.  Other than that one detail, they appear to be identical.

Cheers.

If I had to guess, I would say Sport Classic or Super Sport.

Measure the offset. Superbikes' offset will be 36mm

There is a part number stamped ib the bottom, that would be easiest.
