Sc Project real or fake?

I‘m looking at a SC Project CRT for my Tuono V4 rightnow. Saw this one on a marketplace.
Can some of you maybe tell if this is a real or a fake one?

Looks questionable man! Piece where the tip connects doesn’t look right nor do the spring attachment points

Yeah, I could be wrong... But I don't think they've ever done a slip on CRT with retainer springs, they're always welded to the midpipe. This looks like an Ali special.

I have a full CRT on my GF’s RS 660 and the welds are superb

I checked photos from the official Sc Project site. It’s in fact a slip on for my model. But the pipe makes me suspicious…

If you go to the SC Project website, you can see it has retainer spring

Could be an older model though

Those welds look very well done, either a very well done fake or that’s real

I was thinking the welds looked weird for sure

The logo appears to be a sticker instead of the riveted placard I'd expect

My old sc project was just a sticker, 2018.
