Help ID flash hiders

First great to be back looking at AK stuff. Second if I’ve posted in the wrong forum and maybe should be general discussion please let me know.

I found these flash hiders in my piles of parts. They would have come with all the other stuff I bought many years ago. They would have been acquired sometime in late 80’s to late 90’s. Most everything I’ve ever had is surplus import stuff but I don’t know where these came from. Threads are normal AK left hand.
Thanks for any help.
Alan

Chinese 84S flashhiders were not cast (You can see the line down the middle of the part). The profile is also completely wrong. I think its a reproduction of a 5.45 AIMR flashhider.

The part you are citing is a the 7.62 version which has a shorter cage. The 5.45 version is longer and is much closer to what the OP posted.
