Are these original Mopar nuts and bolts?

These are the nuts and bolts that mount my OEM fan shroud to the radiator. The nuts are stamped "CIP" with "GR-5" underneath. The bolt heads have crosshair dashes casted at the 9:00, 12:00, and 3:00 positions with some kind of a Y-ish symbol at the 6:00 position. Thread size/pitch is 1/4-20 NC and the bolt heads take a 7/16" 6-point hex socket. The washers are captive, they'll turn, but they won't go down the threads which is nice. Are these nuts and bolts the originals from the factory?

The bolts/screws look authentic, the Tinnerman nuts were used on more models than just our Mopars.
 
Yes, well, sort of. What vehicle are we talking about here?
 
Responded on the A body post.

They are extremely similar but not quite.
 
FWIW my ‘69 has permanent studs on the shroud brackets and bright finished flanged nuts.

The pictured bolts and U-nuts were not originally equipped for a Chrysler vehicle of the 1970s, specifically 1973 Challenger.

The U-nuts were made by CIP Fasteners, a defunct company now absorbed into ITW.

The bolts, or screws, with the washer were made by Chian Yung Corporation. The bolts are Grade 5.

The bolts are styled similar to original, as are the U-nuts, although the U-nuts are not specifically the same for the application.
