Terry Detters showed me the differences between repop and original rear fenders some time ago. A lot of it focuses on the front area of the rear fender. The ribbed flange at the front where the running board bolts up and the body flange at the bottom of the front will have a specific angle to them that repops don't. Also the cutting for the fender edge brackets are specific, the fender edge brackets are thinner than repos, and they were spot welded on the fender leaving two indentations on the lip molding that you should be able to see even after painting.
