i only have some bad pictures of a Maxxis brochure from 1996, including also the Instinct and Gluteus.
Most of the offered models had been available in different color variants,
with different color combinations for the rubber compount
and in addition also for a stripe
I would assume yours are rare, to rare to find some more similar ones.
BTW: I do have a set of amberwall Maxxis of roughly that generation, without a name just a product code, and running a combination of Helter and Skelter tires on one of my bikes. The latter ones are pretty hard meanwhile, but I do like the style and sure, the name, and both sets do last quite long without getting porous or brittle.

They look great, also never heard of them.
I have a pair of tyres that look very similar to those marked 'Natural', although no labels or other identifying info on them. Tread and colour is a dead match though.

I have also a Maxxis set in "Natural" amber color
They do have no real name but just thr model numbers C-1166 and C1160
Some do have a differnt Maxxis Logo than mine, but still same model numbers
They have been offered already in 1995 but are at least still in the 1998 brochure
Please check if you can find those model numbers also on yours at my set you can spot the model numbers even at the picture here in the post.
