Any chance these are genuine?

[quicknick]

I recently got some Panasonic caps, different series and ratings... But none of them have the characteristic T-shaped vent, all vents are X or Y-shaped (photos attached)... Is there any chance of these caps being genuine or I am better by throwing them at the garbage bin? Thanks,
Nick

Panny FC with silver stripe? I bet they are fake.. The date code is too red and too thick. The bung and the vent are.. ooh that is crazy. I dont know again what to say...

Re: Any chance these are genuine?

This fakes: printing is smeared and red printing is too thick and the "-" in the stripe is correct. The temp rating is in wrong place, series is printed after the 2 letter series on geniune panny caps. "M" looks wrong. On true panny caps have vent scorings like this: curly T with striaght stem vent.
