Your OE boots look pretty typical for their age. They were originally 
sort of grey/beige and the AirHead replacements look black, which 
will probably last longer (better UV resistance.) The AH versions 
look to be in 2 pieces, of which you'll only need 1, but they look 
like they should work. I don't know where the other parts would have 
been used.
