The real piping color is on the pictures not good visible.
It's a 100% brown piping like the early signal color.

hmmmm

For me they do not look quite right. Well-made but not perfect reproductions perhaps bleached a bit.

Agree leaves me doubts as well. Buttonholes & wonder if the zigzag stitch does in fact hold to seperate pieces of tongue together ?
Piping looks almost orange in photos.

Can you please take a picture in natural sunlight and confirm that the back of the shoulder board is really two pieces?

Pre 1936 signals wore a lighter color brown;
these straps appear to be copper brown, for Panzer Recon.

This pair have got chance of being right. Hard to say more based on those images. They are a board one needs to hold to be sure However, they are or purport to be a later type of tropical board. The piping colour does indeed look to be shade of brown on my monitor which might be recon, but equally I would give consideration to "Bau" (Constrution units). The use of a rare piping colour always puts me on my guard which is why I would want to study these ones in hand'. The zig-zag stitch on the reverse side of one board has clearly joined two pieces of field-grey cloth (one can see the faint separation line) which is a positive.

I like them more than I do not,

I Agree with Pauke. Well made but not perfect.

The backing of the tongues is the biggest red flag to me. Although this curly pattern weave has existed however it has been copied and is the most common seen on fakes. Usually they use it on the outer side of the tongues. This time it was used as a backing.
