Identity of brass steps

Could they be lost wax copies of injection molded plastic ? Many people are able to do that. I have some bracket grabs and gondola drop doors made by people on stmfc. :-) In plastic there are several versions. Do you know how old they are ? That might help to narrow the search.

One of them is the two-rung sill steps that PFE placed under reefer doors after about 1947. I show them below. Can anyone identify the maker? I have looked in the Precision Scale material and not found them, nor are they in old Cal-Scale catalogs. Any help appreciated. --

Tony:
The late Paul Lyons and I took the plastic casting from the Intermountain kit and had them cast up. We used them in lew of the plastic ones that came in the kit.

Looks like something Terry Wegmann might have done.
