Default 67/8 quarter ornaments ??

I have a bunch of the quarter ornaments but they need re-chroming. Are the current repops ok or should I look into re-chroming a set ??

The studs are the wrong spacing and the shape is different:


This pic shows the difference in thickness, finish and stud length between the two:
