The A's one is definitely not real. It's period...so yes, probably a salesman sample.
FWIW, the Finley era A's jumped from manufacturer to manufacturer during those years, I'll presume depending on what was cheapest. A few years back, the A's fanfest had a storage full of old game worn and issued uniforms they were selling, all the way back to the 70's. Those earlier ones were the most mish-mosh pile of stuff I'd ever seen. Multiple makers, same season even. I wish I'd bought more.
