They look original and better than the modern reproductions.
I have seen some though with the insulation becoming brittle and you can hear cracking noises when the kinks are straightened out.

Mine was definitely all kinked up. Fortunately, it all checked out A-ok.  :)

I have had good luck with old stock wiring by boiling some water in a pan or tea kettle and steaming the folds in the harness as I strighten them out. Introducing this moisture to the cloth insulation that was folded for packaging 50 years or so ago seems to help quite a bit.

That makes sense, although it would never have dawned on me. :)
