Which measuring cup is the exact type used as Klingon mugs in DS9 and VOY?

There are many similar looking ones available from different companies, but the details look different. The ones with green text look closer to the screen-used props, with a harder edge where the pouring lip begins, and a harder edge at the bottom as well. The red text ones have smoother, more curved edges there. They also seem to have used 0.5 qt, but those handles are connected at the bottom in most of these, while in the episodes, the handles were connected only halfway down. The props are also taller than wide, which is not the case for the Thunder and Winco 0.5 qt ones.

So which one was used back then? I could imagine, since there are different pictures from the same manufacturer, that they changed designs since the 90s, and the original ones aren't made anymore. Softer curves probably help prevent spills :D

The darker Winco perhaps. Some sources say Winco, others say Thunder. I'm hoping someone who has seen the originals, got one at an auction, knows a production person, collects props etc. knows the manufacturer and size. And since people are buying these as prop replicas for display and cosplay, maybe some people got the other models and can confirm if they still look like in the online store pics.
Happened a few times here that people quickly identified obscure props and model parts. ;)
