The frames could be originals or the creative engineering ones. All the parts look repros to me.

Some parts are not universal, some are. I see you have a broken latch, and judging by your latch base you could use original latches or the repros which are designed to work with original frames.

From what I have learned OG and izzy are the only ones with the ridge but, izzy does not use regular steel. mine have surface rust.

also was told wolfgangs newer hardware will work with OG safari's

so I scored OG safaris, that at some point the glass and some hardware has been replced.

Am I correct?

i have Izzys and mine have surface rust too. the powder coating is chipping off. Rolling Eyes As far as hardware, everything looks like it would match up either with Izzys or the newer wolfgangs.
