stefang posted on the HSM forum about his low profile milling clamps:
Arthur.Marks later posted in response to a question about the source of the design that it seemed to be from:
"AMF - a German workholding company. They have a number of other unique, low-profile designs. Peruse here for convenience."
stefang's work seems to be based on No. 6492. No. 6490 also seems like a nice design, although perhaps harder to make.
