I would pop the center caps out of them and see if the adapter threads can be seen at the spinner end and then be unthreaded out of the spinner. Other than that they look like correct spinners.

It just looks like nipples threaded into them. Just unscrew them and you should be able to use the spinners as designed.

I agree.

They look like plumbing parts you would buy at Home Depot.

The cone mating sections are not machined so even if nipples can be removed they would not work on real KOs.

But the cone sections are present. If the threaded pieces will unscrew I see no reason the spinners couldn't be used.

Possibly the PO inserted threaded pipe into the knockoffs to protect the threads?? I would call the PO and ask him.
