Help identifying these coconut cups? - Collecting Tiki

They are about 4 inches across and 2.5 inches high on average though the edges are varied with a wavy line. I checked a few tiki site archives and didn't spot an exact match, so I'm guessing they may be cups from a hobbyist mold, possibly - anyone know?
