They came in a green and black box similar to Remax components, although I'm not so sure they were marketed by Remax.
Remax did indeed market A7 radiator caps - the Remax catalogue lists the following:
Remax P.N. TS100 (Austin B6-32) Chrome Plated 1933/34 and upright radiator 1935/36
Remax P.N. BA482 (Austin 1A746) 1935/39
They also listed petrol tank caps Nickel Plated 1929/30 and 1933/39
