Howdy y’all! New man here. As the title of the post says how would you know if the door jamb finishing were original 1966 bronco or later model reproductions? Dusty

The most obvious, backsides of the inserts are charcoal colored and smooth to touch. The mounting holes on the exterior side are "coned" so that the bugle head screws sit flush when installed. And the ends/edges of the inserts are irregular in shape.
