Yep! I too have and have had them both ways. Some I took off a '69 Judge back in '71 or '72.
There is no disputing it especially when they are in the original packaging.
Easiest way for me to tell the difference is the chrome is crappy on the originals compared to the repops. This goes back to what I have always said, "GM was not in the business of making show cars, they're in business to make money".
