Those are close, but they're not what most people call "Moog style knobs".

There are several individual knobs Moog used - these are from the Mini, I don't know if the modular gear used others:

Notice the dot marking, for example. I think the originals are Davies Mouldings knobs, and they are actual bakelite, not black plastic. The look and feel is quite different, and the cost too.

The ones you posted are typical on many synths, and the smallest size is a common stomp box knob, sometimes known as the "Boss knob".

What exactly are "moog style knobs" ?
Some very specific form I'm not aware of, or just good ol' bakelite knobs?

The latter are still made by chinese for prices probably a lot lower than the cost of making them with a 3D printer and getting them to look as nice.

Search for "bakelite potentiometer" or "bakelite knob" on ebay / international search.
Various sizes and forms...

Can you beat that price, includig work for polishing? ;)
