Thanks for the replies, I just thought that they might be useful for something if I knew what the characteristics were. If they are LOPT devices then I guess they are of the BU205/BU208 variety, probably not very useful for anything other than switch mode PSU's.

I suppose the 'OEM' part numbering was to lock service departments into buying replacement transistors from the TV manufacturer at inflated 'spares' prices.
