[urq] authenticity of door rings

[W. Bean]

I have a set of door rings (black) I bought years ago in anticipation of purchasing a project ur-q that I never got (the owner died suddenly and the family moved the car to MA from NC) (anybody know it ;...gobi/chocolate +/- 90K miles near Weymouth?).  I came across them this morning and started to wonder if they're authentic or copies.  I could not find much in the way of markings but I noticed little stickers that have "111999 03 " on them and they came with a blue plastic applicator and I know they're printed on 3M decal paper.

They are the dot-fade and look real enough, but I'm no expert on how to tell if they are originals or a very good copy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
