I have spoken with David indepth on this topic, and if my memory serves me...he did not even offer the 16 plait until after Raiders...

He was also firm in stating that only 12 plait were used for production, which began at ToD.

...and lending credibility to Christies is not 100%
In fact, I would say the whips have been documented the worst of all of the Indy items that they've offered!

In regards to appearance, the Randall whips would have already been aged from use...whereas, the production whips (ToD & LC) were almost certainly weathered by the prop folks.
