How can I tell if my mufflers are original?

Were there part numbers stamped or any other indicators on the original mufflers? Mine is a 67 CB77.

To be honest I don't know if part numbers are stamped on early Honda mufflers or not. Seein' how there are no responses yet...maybe not. However, I would think that on a forty something year old bike there would be signs of age at the usual places. Tips, undersides (rust), growdy looking baffles etc. Are you just curious about the pipes age or looking to replace them?
oops...just saw you subsequent post. Hope it turns out well.

a better question might be, how long have they been making repop mufflers?

Post a couple of pics, especially of the inlet flange, outlet area, and mounting brackets and someone will be able to tell if they're original. There are no stamps or stickers or anything on the originals as far as I know.
