Wow. Prop research is beating your head against a wall? Maybe you missed the word MIGHT BE in my heading. This is what the RPF is all about. You post leads, look, research, repeat. No need to State what people “need” to do. As far as saying there is NO WAY these were used, maybe not but again this is what we do...or at least what I’ve done for the last 10 years and I’ve got plenty of prop parts first finds.
This one seems quite well researched and accurate;

The Mandalorian Tracking Fob by DustyNinja
So i decided to make my own tracking fob as i wasn't happy with the ones i could find. I have multiple variations to make it easier for some to print. The side shields look to be slightly angled in the reference material so i designed these to be glued on in the centre then heated and bent to...

Take it easy buddy, I’m very sarcastic, I support your belief that this was probably their base idea

Who knows if it is the base idea. That’s not the point and I never stated that was my belief.
I started this post in an effort to engage the community to research and exhaust the possibilities (as we’ve been doing for as long as I’ve been coming here) that an item like this could be connected to the actual tracker. Your “banging your head” cheerleader comment seemed to say to me that since a few people don’t think the real world part could possibly be the part used that everyone should drop it. Thats counter to how most discoveries get made. It’s a series of starts and stops. Intent and accident. That’s what caused me to respond to you. As far as me relaxing, I’m totally relaxed. If you still feel the urge to start “banging your head” because a few folks continue to think an actual carbon piece was used for the basis of the prop I want you to breathe deep and remember to “take it easy”

Dude me banging my head up against the wall is a daily basis lol
I wonder if they took one of these bigger ones and used it as a mold?
I still tend to think they used it as a concept and 3d modeled it
Matt has shared a lot of his work with lucasfilm and he starts off with real world items, models them and tweaks them
I am so curious if matt is working on the mando..

Looks great!
I did a rough block shape based off of your measurements:
My Measurements:
And reference image:
To my eye, mine looks way too small, and yours looks a bit big. But maybe Pedro Pascal has a bigger hand than I do.
This is 100% not the prop, it’s funny how you see prop shapes in everyday objects.
