Default Are these early Roadster repro handles?

I found these in a box of early Ford parts that I bought and I have know idea what they are. They are very similar in size and shape to the handle on my ‘29 Roadster however these are heavy cast pieces. I’ve never seen any repro handles that have the 2 little flutes along the top edge.

They measure 3 1/2” long and fit a 5/16” shaft.

If you are thinking in terms of the inside door handles used on '33-34 phaetons and roadsters or as Tom suggests, '32-'34 station wagons, the answer is no, they are not reproductions of those handles which were originally made of sheet brass formed over a steel core. The offset at the base of an original handle is quite different and there were no flutes. However, they look like they would function okay if used for that purpose as they are attached to the handle mechanism in the same way as the originals. Perhaps they are aftermarket replacements.
