I don't know if it is the light reflection or not, but they look like
a metallic blue color which Lego does not have. Also, if you look at the 3D
render of that part, the Lego piece is not exactly round but has number of cuts
like a decagon. I would say fake.

Thank you, I think it's fake too

Old versions (possibly from the 70's) of this part has a round hole, never
versions have hexagonal holes. So I believe this may be a genuine old part that
has been coated afterwards, i.e. the coating is not original.

That is true, this is possible. None the less, with that coating, they are destined
for the can or a kids play lot.
