Where did these actual ones come from? I'd find it hard to believe that they are photorealism. There should be stamping molds somewhere...or not.
Regarding the center spines, I agree they do enhance the silver grills. I'm fine without them on my black grill, which is on my black XF.

The strakes show up in the Chrysler Design Institute site. So the design is registered one would imagine.
I am thinking the grille itself came from there as well of course.
There are a total of 3 + 3 strake assemblies, and 2 grilles + the grille backing wires if they are independently attached to the slit front portion.
The set would certainly get my attention.
Until then ....
