They look very similiar to the hardened pushrods I have in both of my cars. They are definitly not stock.
Just for reference, there are VERY few companies that actually make PRs. I want to say alot of the main companies buy their pushrods from one place, they just order them with their name on em.

Hardened pushrods were popular in the gen 1 and BB Chevy engines because of guide plates. The material used dictates the strength, not the surface hardness. If you want to know if what you have is hardened hit it with a file. You will not be able to file hardened pushrods, they can be used with guide plates.
