Are these T engine pans?

Pulled these off the parts shelf. Can't find any pics of Model T engine pans like this. No cut out for generator and no drain holes. But, sure looks like they bolt to either side of an engine block and/or frame. Any ideas? I've never owned or worked onan A but that doesn't mean they didn't just show up in my shop part by part.
Thanks in advance. Stay warm.

I don’t think so. Model T engine pans were flat. Jim Patrick

Looks like splash panels which go between the engine and the frame They will keep mud from splashing up and help with drawing the air through the radiator. Most T's have them removed because it is easier to work on the engine without them. And most roads these days are paved.

Yes, according to eBay, my official expert opinion on everything for sale, if it's in the description on eBay, it MUST be accurate and correct, they appear to be all four year Model A engine splash pans.
So, how the heck did I end up with them? Probably purchased them off eBay described as Model T pans.
Thanks to all. Mystery solved.

As said above, definitely Model A, but also reproduction. The one on the left in your first photo (with the cutout notch for the exhaust pipe) should have 2 notches where it mounts to the engine. The notches should also be straight cuts, not a curve/radius. Would fit and be correct-ish for November 1928 till end of production. From start of production until October 1928 the tab at the front that is bent up on the ones in your photos, would have been flat with a hole so it could mount to the solid front cross member (integral motor mount).
