  Anyone seen those before?

The top of the hinge has the lego logos on the studs, but the bottom half not
yet, I assume a very early prototype fase.

A few years ago I have acquired the collection of Daniel Krentz, designer from
1970/1996

In his collection were lots of gems like these, prototype parts, parts with only
TF or FF in it, and some parts even with partnumber that were never released!

So I know for sure it is genuine Lego, I always wonder how the designers in those
days would go into the factory and try out new things 🤗

I think they look 3d printed and painted.

I agree they look weird, but if they are 3D printed, why have a molding pip and
why the rough prototype surface?

Looks more like a prototype mold quickly made to work for prototype part making.
