The pocket snap should have a dimple in the centre. The collar snap should not have dots going round the edge.
The pocket and collar snaps on originals are different, collar snap being slightly smaller. (I'm being picky, just seeing how far Fivestar can go with this.)

@Shawn Ali Any luck finding the slightly smaller upper collar snaps?

Are the armholes from Rough Wear smaller / higher then the ones from the Werber?

Thanks for asking,

I will work on it, but at the moment we have these snaps in inventory.

Not to resurrect an old post, but the shoulder on the reproduction looks just shy of an inch longer in that photo. That will put the overall shoulder width at 1.5" or more wider than the template, yes?

I own one of those RW since a couple of months - ordered size 46 "off the shelf" in HH - well i learned i'd need to go one size up for the next one other than that i'm in love with it ...

since i don't have any reference i did not notice any differences in the shoulder width
