Just picked these up and not see rocker arms like these before. No part number on them, can anyone ID them?

I am not positive, but kind of look like FE rockers.

So far the general consensus seems to be that they are Lincoln rocker arms. Either way they are going on the block.

FE's don't have right and left rocker arms. (pretty sure...)

Don't know what they fit but not FE.  FE stands have one bolt down the center and no other holes.  Individual FE rockers are not left and right but the FE rocker assemblies are right and left because of the oil supply passages must align in the #3 stand.

fwiw, they must be 1952 Lincoln 279 rocker arm assemblies. your box states '279'.
Lincoln OHV engines were the first of basic Y-block design, but they are totally different from later Ford Y blocks. Y block is just a description of the skirted crankcase (block) design.
I am pretty sure that those assemblies will not fit a Ford Y block (54-64).
For comparison here is my 1953 Lincoln 317, which also has the staggered (angled) rocker arms. (Ford Y block rockers are dead straight).

this is a 292 Ford assembly with straight rockers:
