Probably Austers own – they had a history of making and fitting floats, the earliest were those fitted to a Mk V (taken off a dH Queen Bee) and tested during WW2, the idea was so that it could still be used in the AOP and liasion role in the Far East watery regions, but the end of the war meant there was no need for it.
Auster then made their own, presumably exactly or nearly the same as the Queen Bee ones, and were also fitted to other Austers, most famously the two used on the 1958 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (which were interchangeable with skiis and a wheeled undercarriage) and depicted in the Airfix kit
