all three look like Model A generator harnesses to me, but I cannot tell if they're NOS Ford parts or old repros.

We would need a real close up of the ends.

Your pics are a little dark (the white background makes the camera do that), but they look like early replacements in less than ideal shape. With that said, I suspect that is the type of "original" we will find on most cars that have old stock wiring.

This pic shows a difference in tracer types. All the Ford dash and generator wiring I've seen had the closely spaced "double spiral tracer" while replacements have either a single spiral tracer or a double spiral with a clear gap or space between them. I'm suspect either type would be accepted in judging but condition is important.

When I blow up the pics the first two look original based on Marco's pic the third looks like old replacement.
