Agree they are authentic, I am just curious if that is a mis-strike on the eye socket , as well as the swas is off center , or if the camera angle is playing tricks ?

.. a pity prongs are missing

[SScollector]

This eye socket feature is found on several aluminum Deschler skulls. This is common, not really an oddity. As for the swastika, I would say that it is most likely a misalignment with the dies.
Anyway, these are absolutely original pieces, yes a pity as to the lack of prongs, but not uncommon for aluminum insignia. Just my thoughts,
