Is this a trick question? It depends how good the repro is! If it is an exact copy in every detail, you could only tell by it's newness Ron

OK Rich. I have no idea if they were stamped with a part No originally (very probably). So you need that confirmed by someone who has wings off there carrier. I also can't think what AE stands for? Ron

Ok.... The part number is TL7195 which is stamped on the back edge of the fender between the lamp bolt holes, then between the other holes next to it is the date, they appeared to be pucker afterall so have snaffled them they are 1941 dated so happy days
