Pete F sent me these today - more photos to define the sort of thing I was thinking of (in fact, these are exactly what I was thinking of)
(Apologies for the photo quality - my fault as they are screen grabs from the email. For some reason I couldn't save his images)

Interestingly there is not much bracing evident in them so they are not meant as an anvil but more as a fixture.
Thanks Pete

I have seen them around but non of them seem to have a consistent name..
Semi off topic I have been playing around with an idea after tying to get a really good hold on a part while milling an angle, I thought this idea would be useful to some.
The basic idea is that of a sine bar, but where mine varies is that the movable pins extend out pass the body of the block and rest on the top face of the mill vice. The default indexes are 0±5° and 0±10° with the 5° point being that of a 5" sine bar and the 10° points being that of a 2" sine bar throw in some gauge block and you have all the angles you want.
