Are these King Manything Cages? Or Fakes?

I bought these just recently on eBay and I've never even worried about fakes/bootleg bike stuff but I always notice the various threads on here discussing such.

They are not stamped King but a Google image search reveals that King cages aren't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hard to tell, but they look like the cages I bought direct from King.

What am I missing? They look just like your pic.

I emailed King Cage for some help.

I was just about to change my mind after a closer look. I was thinking the stamping on the three plates looked less defined and the spacing off but too hard to tell.

Good chance they're real. Aliexpress doesn't even have *any* ti cargo cages yet.
