Hope hubs - Ti?

[FZRIP]

Hi, are these Ti hubs?
What are the identifying features?

Ti glide is a rear hub only.

People seem to get confused and refer to fronts using this name too.

They did lots of variants of front which follow the same design. Fatso , suspension , etc

Ok, so the front isn’t then, how about the rear?
Any pointers on year from the logo?

Both hubs have ti bodies and alloy flanges. On model name is ti glide which seems to get used for hubs that aren't.

Front is also ti, iirc called "lightweight" - before the intro of fatso, suspension etc.

The "tiglide" rear hub from 1992 had a freehub body mechanism, whereas the original lightweight ti rear was to fit screw on freewheel.
