Some years ago I obtained a set of plastic ones which did not fit properly and were eventually junked. I bought a set of metal ones which now seem identical to those in the OP link and were perfect in every way. They were an exact fit with none of the slight wobble when offered dry to the recess as the plastic ones did and they retained their finish and condition until sold January last.

They remained in place and retained their condition after 8 years in situ. I hope the ones I have just bought, thanks OP, are the same or similar origin.
