I installed them about 10 years ago , model 8200W 15amp
Except your’s are the 8200H (15A) hospital grade duplex receptacle. If yes those are the real deal original Hubbell outlet. Check the Agon archives for the Porter Port outlet.
The outlet is/was a Hubbell 8200H / 8300H slender/compact style extra heavy duty hospital grade duplex receptacle. (8200H, 15 amp. 8300H, 20 amp.)
Contacts brass. Supporting back strap brass. Body tough as nails. You could beat it with a hammer and not break it.
Old stock now though...
From Albert Porter’s old ad:
The Hospital grade I was so fond of is (model 8300) is only available with magnetic steel back strap and galvanized plating. This is miserable sounding so I’ve abandoned that design.
By ordering about 1000 pieces at a time, Hubbell is delivering Hospital grade interior parts, unplated and non magnetic in the industrial 5362 body, brass back strap. and Isolated Ground. This is the best Porter Port ever.
The replacement to the old no longer made outlet Albert bought was an IG5362 duplex receptacle. I doubt Hubbell builds that exact outlet anymore with non plated brass contacts and a non plated brass back strap.
NOTE: The Photos in Albert’s ad above are of the old 8300H outlets. Not the IG5362 outlet.

The inside is the exact same as the 20 amp , you pay extra for the cover !
Insides are exactly the same right down to the "T" neutral contact for the 20 amp outlet.
As for price, Box Stores charged more for a 20A outlet. I don’t remember if Electrical Wholesale Houses did though.
I do remember Electrical wholesale Houses charged more for a red color 15A hospital grade outlet than the 20A hospital grade outlet. Why? Special run on the Assembly line to build, assemble, the less bought 15A outlet.
