I just bought these 2 chrome inditator arm covers (Perohaus/Kamei?). Seller says one is nos and one is used... But I think that one could be repop, because the size is slightly different?

The one with the tabs broken off is obviously used, but could always be an old repop?

Who can help me out here please?

Top one looks VERY similar if not the same to my repop.

well - seeing as oldbug have literally only just started reproducing this cover, I'd say that the one you have in bad condition is an original.
