Cut each tenderloin into 6 rounds; wrap 1 piece of bacon around side of each. Poke metal skewer through bacon and pork through to other side; remove skewer. Thread rosemary sprig through hole to extend on other side.
Thread 3 tenderloins at right angle to rosemary onto each of 6 metal skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
In small bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper; brush over flat sides of pork. Broil on greased rimmed baking sheet, 8 inches (20 cm) from heat, turning once, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to platter; pour pan juices over top.
