I have had both types and the Scott Drake letters did not have Ford part #'s on them. The major difference i noticed between the two were the NOS were heavier and thicker.

The one above was from Dennis Carpenter, and is actually very close to original on the outside.
I will have to get a pic of it next to an NOS one for reference...
It's unfortunate that chroming has gotten so crazy. I'd rather re-chrome my "Bronco" emblems, "FORD" emblem, and my lift-gate handle, but I've been quoted from 4 different places over $450 to do the work. My original parts are beyond simply polishing so I'm going to have to get the cheaper Chinese re-po parts. Sucks.
If your parts are smooth enough I could powder coat them in "super chrome" it looks great and you'd still have your original parts
here's how it looks ....
