OEM or Reproduction Late Model Bezels. How to tell? (1 Viewer)

[Drake2]

Just got these in a batch of parts. They are identical and even nest together so nicely I did not know there was two . Any clues to verify OEM or repop?

Thanks.

Forgot to include that they are METAL, not plastic or fiberglass which would have been proof of not being OEM.

I'm not sure I have seen a repro of a late model bezel, but perhaps the South Americans are doing it. If they nest that tightly, it could indicate Toyota quality control, vs. a 3rd world country. Perhaps you can compare the weight of each to a known-OEM one?

Weight comparison would be a good possibility but I do not have access to any other newer bezels here in rusty Wisconsin.
