It says .... erm ...... "Showa".
edit ... unless they're Marzocchis, in which case I dunno how to ID them.

Jeff I think I’m right saying your bike is later (2000-ish?) and as you say has the plastic clips to support the front mud guard whereas on the earlier bikes the mud guard mounts are part of the fork bottom.
I am not sure if the earlier Showa forks were marked the same (I did have a pair from a 888 some time ago but I can’t remember now) but certainly looking at the photo the lower part of the slider tube appears to be more pronounced than on my Marzocchi’s and more like the design of the 888 Showa’s I had.
It could of course just be the angle of the photo but as I said- Blue adjusters on the of them will definitely mean standard Marzocchi's.
