Kokarden - real or repro?

What’s the verdict on these cockades - real, or reproduction? They’re stamped metal, with the Prussian one attracting a magnet (steel?) and the Reichs kokarde not attracting a magnet (aluminum?). Both measure exactly 48mm in diameter. The holes in the centre were punched out from the backside, as they should be. Paint colours appear to me to have been applied in the correct order. The seller I purchased them from knew they were military but thought they were “medal frames”. I’m hopeful these are originals but will defer to the group’s judgement!

well IMO they could be real kokarden, but appear the white stripes have been repainted...

Just my thoughts
