MCRD PI Recruit Rifle Team Shooting Medals - 1960

When I was at PI as a boot in 1960 I was the third highest shooter out of 80 + and as a result I made the Recruit Rifle Team for our platoon.  We competed against numerous teams from all three battalions and won the competition, earning team medals for rifle and pistol.  I have been trying to determine who or what organization sponsored the medals and have run into a brick wall.  Neither the NRA nor Leatherneck magazine say they were theirs.  I suppose after 60 years institutional memory fades, so I was wondering whether anyone on this site might have a clue.  Attaching photo of my medals which, miraculously, have followed me around all these years.

Thanks, and Semper Fi.
