VANMAN...welcome to the Forum.
There are many websites about Wheaton bottles and history. Just enter Wheaton on google.com...sit back and read.
As for Taiwan reproductions a Forum member offered a set of boxed miniatures for a Members Forum Auction. You may want to see if they are still available for sale.

Wheaton made a lot of reproductions in the(19)70's,..The one's marked tiawan are also reproductions, The bottom picture you show has a "simulated" pontil scar. Reproductons are usually too 'finished' and mass produced looking compared to the real McCoy,....an authentic pontil scar would usually be rough and not look too much like the mark on your bottle....Also repros usually have colors that are "off" to real bottles,...experience is the best teacher.
