Im trying to determine if these door handles are original or repros. Any opinions?

They are repros. TMP is for Tasker Metal Products.

They are listed on this page toward the bottom. Look in left column for 9154 part #.

Here is the ones Stoddard sells.

I believe TMP makes them for Stoddard and other vendors.

Yes, these repo handles are a PITA cause they are not close to matching the OE handles.
The sealing rings don't fit and the barrell & lock cylinder are not a good fit.
But what do we do? Can't buy the ones from Porsche.
