Default HO Aluminum Intake ID

Hey gang - since I've never held a factory aluminum intake (I'm talking '71-'72 455HO here) nor seen one side-by-side with the reproductions, how can you tell them apart?

Or, in other words, what's the easiest way to identify that you're looking at an actual factory OEM intake vs. a reproduction?

There's one for sale in a facebook group currently that's supposedly OEM but it has terribly aligned port openings. I've heard that the repros are really bad for this but the factory intakes should be pretty good, right? At least no worse than the typical iron intake?
