This process, unless a pristine pair is copied, takes along all of the wear and tear and/or distortions of the example used. Your grips have one large hole each, and although I can't tell from the pic for sure, the fronts are also suspect.
Not to mention the "voids" clearly visible on the back of each grip,
originals are smooth, no bubbles in the plastic.
