They look a lot like the after-market set we got at the Maleny Swap Meet for $50. Havent checked it out yet so don't know how good it is.

The packaging doesn't look like OEM to me. I ordered a cheap eBay gasket set for my 350f and ended up having to do it all again because the head gasket leaked around the high pressure oil jets. These might be better than those, maybe someone else has tried them.

I got my set from www.partsnmore.com
Worked out great, no leaks and they were not that expensive.

I figured as much. Does Honda still make the gaskets for these?

I doubt it, I had a CB350 twin and they didn't have them for it and it was a very popular bike, almost up there with the CB750.  An aftermarket set will be just as good if not better, sometimes they supercede the original requirements.

Surprising stuff is still stocked by Honda. Check with a dealer. If you have the part number, most dealer parts desks will tell you over the phone if a part is still available. Dealers are supposed to have computer hookups to Honda to be able to tell you for certain if any part is available and how many are in stock.
