Need help with a mystery panel clip....

I've searched all of the upholstery vendors available clips and can't find these? They are folding metal like you used to see on manila envelopes and help tie down a trim panel to a door card. Any one know what these are called and where I can find them?
Thanks for the help!

Thanks a great resource. Loved looking through the whole thing. Solutions galore but nothing on this kind of fastener. Its common to 80's and 90's Fords. In this picture its holding a map pocket onto a door panel.
The closest solution I can find is bending my own from bendable nose wire for mask and maybe some flat jewelers aluminum but would like to have bulk of the spaced bent clips if I can actually find them.

I was able to find these fasteners, they are re-purposed 2 hole punch prong paper fasteners. You can buy them at office supply stores. If you ever need to re-attach 80's ford insert panel or door map pockets, these are your huckleberry.

It wasn't easy to find but found it using the term prong. They aren't an exact match to factory but I'm stacking 3 together to get the same factory thickness and its doing the job. TMI is only using one for their product but the metal is very soft. I'm not convinced it would hold as well.
