Need help with research on floor mats

These are the floor mats in my 72 Supreme, and while I'm pretty sure they're not original, I'm curious about their origin. I tried running the numbers through Google but came up empty.
The last two pics show the numbers. First one is driver side and second one is the numbers on the rear mat. All the mats have the 'GM" logo stampted onto them.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
Dave

They look like generic GM black mats that were died green.

They look very much like the mats that came in my 1999 Chevy pickup. As Eric noted, someone painted them green.

Looks like the same front and rear mats that were in my 1997 Tahoe LS as well. They are dated the 5th mark (May) of 1997.

I'm curious as well. What do original floor mats look like?

IDK if these were standard or an option, nut these are available from most of the repro guys
I have these. The front fits well but the backseat seems too big. Its bigger than the foot well so they don't sit flat.

RPO B32 (front) and B33 (rear) rubber floor mats were optional across the model line. In 1972 they were $7.00 each. Interestingly, in 1968, the fronts were $7.37 and the rears were $7.16.

So in the midst of this discussion, what is the general opinion? Keep them or replace them? Personally, I don't have an issue with them...I like the fact that the rear goes over the hump, they fit good, and they look like they belong.
