I know what you mean but it's all part of making it the body look period correct, so they got to be fitted!
Don't want the Swedish one's for that very reason...they're swedish :!: And personally, I think they look a bit OTT.
The rear wings that were on the car when Mike bought it are believed to be the OG items and gravel guards were fitted to them:

For reference, I have attached a couple of pictures of a boxed set of gravel guards I have. Not sure if they are original VW, not user if VW supplied them or if they were a typical after market item. They were made in Western Germany.
For size comparison, I have pictured one of them on top of a Swedish gravel guard (note these are fitted with screws!).
Hope this helps.
