My best guess would be original but possibly touched up and repainted.
Greg I'm not aware of catch variants on AS in triangle PAB's. The fact however that the reverse finish isn't disturbed in anyway even with this catch, in combination with the color and the thickness of the paint I tend to conclude that at least the reverse was refinished.
Here is mine. I think the first one posted is good but the metal probably wasn't hot enough when it was die-cast. The catch has been replaced and perhaps it recieved a new finish at that time.
