12 Bolt W27 rear end cover

Can someone tell me if this is a aftermarket cover or not? It’s been sitting around for a few years! Thanks

The W on the real ones are much more even and not so pointy. Several other signs also. This one is like the ones Fusick sold for a long time. Not sure if they still sell this version or not but I always felt as if it was the worst one. I know of three versions of the repops.

Here is one I found for my car some time ago - an early repro which seems to match the originals very closely. If I recall, the original covers were fully ribbed on the interior as well, not just partially.

That one is made from the exact same mold as one version that is available today but I really think those were made of a different grade of aluminum than todays are.
