Aside from the paragraph below, the link above is all I could find.
I've always wondered who they were. I thought I was frequently hearing

All I have ever heard is that it was a small group of Brits, like only
three guys and one woman, who worked on long-term contract with
Shaw's. They dubbed damn near every film done by SB, and a whole lot
of other HK stuff when SB had less work and they were loaned out to
other smaller companies.

The same dubbing crew occasionally did anime dubbing as well.

I think that what you found in that link is the best you're ever going to find. As far as I know, no one ever interviewed these people or documented this stuff.

as a confirmed HK-film nut, i loved reading that thread until around page
four when the main contributor, wanchaitransient -- after telling a story
about an irate rabbi in kowloon -- is exposed as a notorious fraudster.
