in those quantities id say repops, just the same as at alans...all the proper nos ones ive seen sell for more and nearly always have the stamped top nut which the repops do not have

Strange that the top nut isn't stamped but I guess they could be the latest generation $:-\$
I'm pretty sure the classic ones (white / blue / green box) have a different style tioga stamp than the later ones (black / blue / white box).

Top nut was always 8 sided with sealed O-Ring as well
