Oh but yes they are!

I got one of the original 08 model Teneres and Paul from Metal Mule came to my house and took away my bike as they did not have one to use as a development model for their products. It came back with their own bash plate, a set of those bars, a taller screen, a full set of pannier frames, rear carrier and Metal Mule panniers.
My first Ten was stolen and I bought my old panniers frames back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, long story don't ask!

I still have the original prototype bash plate, damn ugly!

Those bars I thought were also ugly, he took them off when he went home!
Probably sold them to the owner of your bike!

Hope this answers your question.

PS I also got a serious discount for letting him use my bike. The panniers I sold as I don't particularly like alloy boxes.
