Is this handle appropriate for a JTM45

Silly question, I know, and definitely one for the more anoraky of us, but do you think this handle looks alright on this JTM45?

It's my block logo clone with smooth tolex and RS OT. Same era amps most often had a short black leather handle with square end caps, but I have seen some with brown handle and rounded end caps. All shorter than this though. I've had this MG handle lading around for a while and the amp has been handle-less for years. Should I just slap it on?

I've gone for short with square ends (do have some round ends too) as I think they are more correct.

BTW, is there a source you know of for the slightly thicker gold strip for the front head box?

Any place to get the shorter handles? And/or square end caps?

I used to have an extra piece of that gold fascia, but sold it years ago. My cab was made by Ray Domzalski, so he may have a source? Or did I send mine to him for installation? I really can't remember...

Is it being held together with T nuts?
