Martin, I think these negs may be made by Russ Dodd, who creates Lenswork's gravure editions. The service bureau (they would grimace), again I think, is Color Technologies, Inc, a place I used to work as a retoucher. They have an Agfa Avantra for film output and Russ was impressed with the sharpness of the dot it produced. I can get their number for anyone who wants to give them a call. Russ' business is called Working Theory Press (http://www.workingtheory.com) In the event any of this information is wrong I apologize.
