Tool Kit Pliers Question - 86.5#182413

Like many, I've had a nearly complete toolkit for my 86.5, missing only the pliers. The tools in my kit are stamped "Klein" but I found that "Hapewe" also provided tools for Porsche toolkits. Does anyone know if the pliers were Klein or Hapewe? Both are German.

It probably doesn't matter since I bought a used set of used 6.5" Hapewes that are a perfect fit in the tray slot and I'll keep them, but I was curious.

Thanks!

For 86.5, the handles don't have the rubber covers. They are just bare metal. Here is what I purchased, and it is the same linesman style you have, but says Hapewe and Germany on the handles. The seller said they came from a MB 380SL toolkit, but fit perfectly.
