Subject:"VW" Stamp on Long Coolant Pipes Means they're original?

Hi all.

Am about 1/2 way through rebuilding the cooling system on my 1988
Westfalia. Pulled the long pipes today. They appear to be in really
good shape and might come in handy should I ever convert another air
cooled to water cooled.    ;)

On one pipe, there's a barely visible "VW" stamp near the end. The
other has a white sticker with red text part numbers. The metal
inserts look to be in very good condition.

Does this VW stamp mean the pipes are original? I'm trying hard to
determine if this bus in fact has lower miles on it.

I can post a pic tomorrow if need be.

Thanks!

Neil.
