Oem e9x zcp wheel fake or real?

Hi, I was wondering if the board can help me figure out if one of my oem zcp e9x wheel is fake, the back writing is different from my other zcp wheels, where it doesn’t contain the silber/silver or Schwartz/black writing. I’ve never seen this before but can someone help me figure out if I got a fake rear zcp wheel. Attached are pics, thanks in advance.

That looks authentic to me. Looks like other sets in the for sale section have the same markings

Yes this is what I see on my other zcp wheels, but the second pic in my first post is what I am most worried about, I guess I shouldn’t be worried to much, just weird that it differentiates...

Definite Bmw . I think the second one doesn’t have the color because they changed something along the line. The first pic is a 2013 wheel and the second pic is a 2016 wheel. I hadn’t seen a 2016 wheel backing before
