Old Trace Elliot Amp Question

Hi, I'm considering to buy an old Trace Elliot amp.

But here, in Indonesia, the people are just way 'too creative'. So many replica, fake amps here.

So, I want to ask to you guys. I've got two candidates of amps, which one between those amps are the original one? Pic one or two?

Thanks :)
 
Trace stuff is variable. The first is "wrong" for being RAH rackmount, but in a sleeve. Could be real one anyway, or an aftermarket green case.

Second is too dark to see properly, but looks all kinds of wrong, and afaik nothing was ever made with 10 bands of eq.
