Anyone know what mold produced these paper patch bullets?

There are several places a mould like that could come from, but it appears to be a nose-pour design with a cup base.
You don't give a diameter, but I have a Hoch for 45 caliber BP rifles that throws a very similar designed cast.

Swaging can give you the same type projectile.

The cup base on my brooks adjustable mould looks very similar. It might be easier to send them to a custom maker and have duplicated than chase a specific makers mould down

Looks very similar to the lee group buy for a paper patched martini henry mould that the British Militaria Forums ran a few years ago.
