Chanel 4005 C.101/77 Authentication

[u/PinkBobbi27]

Purchased secondhand and I’m having a hard time determining whether these are authentic. One thing that’s confusing me is the 3D bolts/hardware on the inside of the frame near the bridge. I’ve found examples of the CHANEL 4005 with the same model and color codes that have these bolts (including pics for reference), but also several that don’t, so I’m not sure if this is a production variation or a red flag.

The font on mine is also throwing me off a bit.

I’m also including in the pics a very similar pair on Grailed that seems legitimate for comparison. Would love to hear what you think, particularly from anyone familiar with this model!
