Sending pictures of what I found. These were on the car since the 80’s at least, maybe longer.
They had backing behind the clips and and held the trim very well. I took them off a little while ago. Used the original bolts on the ends. I will take them out, put them on some other trim and use factory original.
These are fender mouldings. Last picture shows some polishing I did.

Those are the clips for the SS moulding on the inside top that hold the door and quarter panels in place.

I am sure you are correct. But they worked very well. On the fender and door mldgs.
If someone can’t get any repo of originals, they can take the trim and go to a supplier and test fit them.
Sometimes one has to think outside the box.
Trying to helpfully aid someone.

Have you tried them? I've yet to see some that worked well. The metal trim butterfly clips also work not bad
No I have not, but they are the closest I have seen that match up to originals. However, I know of a couple of guys that have and they liked them.

I got them to work the trick is use a pair of the Cgeap pliars used for removing g door panels mark where each clip goes using marker then remove use pliars and stretch the Aluminum just a little bit being sure not to overstretch the metal keeping the metal straight then snap it over each Clip worked perfect then use “Never Dull” Polish you can even squeeze some if the the Aluminum is not shaped perfectly! Mine came aiauta straight!
