Front Bumper inserts

Hey everyone. Does anyone know whether or not these chrome pieces are an OEM feature/an insert/ or aftermarket??

I know you can buy them from ebay, but I’d prefer to buy OEM if I can. eBay chrome tends to go bad after a year. Does anyone know if this is something that can be bought from Mercedes?

Don't be afraid of the ones you buy on Amazon. I don't know if MB even sells them in a chrome finish. I believe they do in a gloss black.
