Princess Phone number plates

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could tell me if these Princess phone number plates would work for my 1965, 702B Princess:

Thanks, and I greatly appreciate it. 
(I don't want to purchase any if they aren't going to fit my phone right.)

I advise against purchasing these.  I bought a few, they are poorly made reproductions.  They do not look authentic at all.

Attached below is the picture from the eBay auction.  I can't attach a picture of the ones I received because they were so crappy I threw them away.

Here's a comparison of the repro dial plate and a real Princess dial.

Notice the letters are taller and narrower on the repro, and the numerals are the totally wrong font, look especially at the 1, 6 and 9.  Also, the word OPERATOR is totally different.

Wow!

I really appreciate the advice.  I asked the seller a question several days ago: what brand are they, will they fit my particular Princess phone... I found it quite curious that I hadn't received a response. 

Thanks again--any idea where I can get a couple real ones for a reasonable price?

At COT we had some of those plates. They were real but were made later as universal replacements and would fit the later dials.They worked on the older dia;s as well but did not look the same.

In the past I've had Princess dial number plates that were cracked and one I ruined while trying to clean it.  I just replaced the whole dial.  They come up occasionally inexpensively on eBay, or you can watch for a cheap full junker set and use the dial out of it.
