Seat back covers, reproduction vs OEM

Just thought I’d post some comparison photos of OEM K5 seat back covers versus new reproduction. The oem covers were all black and painted to match the interior. The grain texture differs versus the reproduction examples as shown. The first image has parallax distortion, the covers aren’t angled as it would appear. OEM NOS cover on the left, repro on the right in the first image.

It would appear that the year of manufacture is possibly indicated on OEM panels. The piece with “71” came from a Blazer assembled in early 1972 whereas the brown example I pulled from a square body but can’t recall the model year sadly (shown on post to follow).
