Compare them directly with a genuine one.

They should look, feel, weigh and fit exactly the same.

It's pretty obvious. The color is slightly different as is the finish.

I think i have spotted 3 aftermarket

I am being sent 4 more links to trade out. The 3 I notice have a yellow patina when the light hits them a certain way.
