Yes, the shape is now copied after the 1980's Suntour Thumbshifters. The innards, while the same as the original Silver levers, is based on the Suntour Sprint road levers, which uses a smaller diameter ratchet design inside than the original mountain Suntour Thumbshifters. Having both versions, the mountain lever seems to hold the gear better than the road. As far as I know every copy of Suntour ratcheting levers has been of the road version innards, no one has copied the mountain.
