Default GM or Repo Trim Rings??

Has anyone else seen GM trim rings packaged in this manner? I had two sets of NOS 90's Cadillac hub caps that were packaged like this. I have these on Ebay as NOS and I want to make sure they really are.

I've never seen GM package them in a group like that touching each other,only individual packaging.
Is that what you're asking?

There is a heavy paper in between each one and then they are shrink wrapped. Again, I had two sets of Cadillac wheel covers that were done like this and they don't reproduce those. Just wondering if anyone has seen rings packaged like this before from GM? I don't want to advertise something as NOS if it isn't.

Well, not sure here, but pretty sure they are. I have these NOS caps with Part#s that are packaged stacked and divided by similar heavy paper in this box. A quick check online says the Gaylord Container Division operated 1986-2002.. Trying to add the pics

These never had a box to my knowledge though. Just the shrink wrap.
