Saddlebag identity

Good afternoon all, i'm trying to find out a little info about these bags that were on my 1989 FLHTC, but for the life of me I can't even find another picture of them. Does anyone know if they are factory Harley or aftermarket? Thanks for your time!

Thank you guys for the clarification, still a bit odd how little info there is, were they only produced for a couple of years? Thanks again gents!

I would guess they are late shovel, pre-FLT, as my early shovel bags were symmetrical, that is the only handing was left or right fixings. Those look similar in shape to early Evo bags, but with the chrome rear shovel fittings on the lids, plus integral lights.
