One major telling point is in the wing's base, none of the current repro cast (hollow) wings will match the "footprint" of an original/NOS base gasket, as none of the repro wing casters compensated for casting shrinkage, ....if you know the actual dimensions of an original, you'll find the repros fall short in matching the specs across the board...
