Sorry to disagree, but without much better photographs, IMHO I cannot offer an opinion that these grips are genuine original bakelite of the type issued during 1939-1942.
The interior surfaces are not what I expect to see on genuine grips... and the border around the checkering appears to be too wide to be genunine... I believe they are reproductions... quite possibly cast from a set of genuine grips. This does not mean that they are not very serviceable grips, especially if they fit well... but it does mean that they are not worth what a pair of genuine grips brings in today's collector market.
