No pic of the throttle side yet as it's being a bit argumentative. Will get back to that side in the morning...

Throttle side sorted, couldn't leave it alone until tomorrow. Required modification, improvement & some percussive adjustment. The left over parts are because I used the original bar end weight doodads. Will be keeping the original levers under the seat in case these fall apart.

Well this is odd..

This morning I decide to check the fasteners are all tight etc...
The screws take metric allens
The nuts aren't metric or imperial (or BA)
The threads on the screws aren't metric

I did manage to get everything tightened with a bit of minor faffery.

Have you used stubby levers before? I was a fan of them initially as they felt stiffer than standard length levers, but after a while I realised that the standard length levers are actually better, as they allow you to modulate the braking force better based on which part of the lever you're applying force to. But they certainly look trick.

I presume the hinge in the levers is so they don't snap in the event of an off?

Yes, they hinge upwards 90deg.
These are stubby right now, but are adjustable in length too. About 1.5in by loosening a screw & sliding the green part outboard.

Clever - best of both worlds in that case.
