These are Myford collets (VERRRY expensive!).   They have the advantage of 
having no drawbar (being secured by a nut on the mandrel nose) enabling the 
machining of long workpieces.
Arc Euro Trade sell 2 MT collets (for use with a drawbar) in metric or imperial 
sizes for £6 per collet, which seems to be the cheapest available.   I have 
been happy with the quality of their tools.

Cheers!   Hubert
