Great news, JD! Thanks for the input.

I bought a repop gas cap emblem and then changed my mind and bought an original.
The difference is much clearer on those.

Of course, it helps to have them side-by-side.

the repro fender emblems can be very obvious, too gold in color and the matte tone looks like "mustard".  The embossing of the snake is not the same as well as the GT350 or 500 letter styles do not match the originals, similar-ish but not the same.  Also, the "SHELBY" across the top is wider than original.

Comparison image.  Repro Gas emblems have coloring that look like the emblem on the right.  There seem to be some newer repro emblems that have better coloring.
