Last year I rescued most of a teak living room from a barn. Starting from near total ignorance of Scandanavian/Danish design, with the aid of this forum I have discovered that I have two (HCO era) Hundevad case pieces, a Frank Bros./Moreddi chair and coffee table, and a Yngve Ekstrom "Mingo" chair and ottoman in teak. I can't stop until I identify the only pieces that continue to be a mystery to me.
These two chairs look like Kofod Larsen's "Elizabeth" design, but the stance/scale is very different. Also, the chair arms don't continue as far around the seat back as Larsen's do. Most puzzling to me is the makers' mark: it looks like "PH" to me, but I'm not sure. None of the designers/firms with those initials I have read about made anything like this that I know of. Are these knockoffs of the Elizabeth chair or something else entirely? Any hints would help fulfill my personal mission to understand my new living room.

The detective work on this is just stunning! I don't know how to show my appreciation, other than posting some more pictures. Please let me know if there are any other specific angles you all would like to see. The original owner told me that his recollection is that the cushions the chairs originally had were a dark grey wool to contrast with the formerly white shells.
