Are there different ones reproduced? I see Cal custom, Wheel Vintiques, Mopar Performance , Classic Industries are selling someones as well. Original caps had a spun aluminum style center where Ive also seen just a generic "sticker". Dont want those. Any difference?

The stock caps are sold at many different places. It am not sure which are the best ones, but there are some lousy incorrect ones I see on cars.

The caps that say "MAGNUM 500" on them were from motor wheel and were sold at the tire store. They are shorter and need a shorter mounting piece behind them. Easy way to tell is 3 holes instead of 4. Two for bolts and one for an alignment pin.

Ford had caps that were all red with an outline of a crown, and the running horse mustang. Probably other also.

Here's an old post that describes the differences between the early and late versions offered by Chrysler.

https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/5316789/site_id/1

I bought a set of reproduction caps about a year ago that were in and OER box. These looked very close in dimension to the early 2823 842 2 inch version with one exception, the recess where the decal goes in is about 1/8 to 3/16 deeper in the original compared to the repros.

Hope this helps
