14" trim rings - are these authentic or repops?

Found these 14" rings while cleaning up the garage.  These rings were originally on the car from around 1975 (when I got it) and I doubt the original owner changed them.  I know the 1970 model came with chrome rings, not brushed like these.  The profile seems correct in that the outer ring is higher than the inner ring, but there's no part number that I can see.

they look OEM to me, too. the oxidized backside and tiny bits of rust look much like other OEM rings I've seen.

I agree they look like originals. 14" rings were always brushed, the 15's could be had polished or brushed.

Thanks.  Didn't know that 14" rings only came brushed, even for 1970.  And it's normal for there to be no part number?

It is normal for there to be no part number on the OEM trim ring.
