An original ECU will have a Bosch label on it that is either brown or a
yellowish tan color.  A brand new ECU (within the last five years), will
have a grey Bosch label.  That should settle it for you.  They all look
new because they are crammed inside a box under the back seat.  I have
rebuilt 2.1l ECUs for $250 if anyone needs one.
