I’m not an expert so I’m hoping @Lovejoy or someone who knows more than I do will see this post. That said I think these are reproductions. Here are the sources that lead me to believe this https://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/misrepresented-marks/ea…

Thank you my friend. I hope you're wrong...but will look forward to other comments.
Re: KPM candleabras
Some pieces really need a physical appraisal, there has been so much reproduction stuff made since the 1980's. Based on what I can see the quality of these is not up to genuine KPM originals and are most likely reproduction.
