Valve cover question

Anyone that can verify these are true OEM? Do covers not have a Nissan stamp anywhere? Here is a few pictures of them as well as the link where I got them from on eBay. Came in a big “Paraut” box, but they came in actual Nissan boxes inside with the valve covers in them. Valve cover number underneath is Y2097-011 in case it is a bit blurry. Other one is Y2081-021. Thanks for any help.

They look OEM, why do you suspect they're not? I re-sealed the plug tube seals on my covers a few months ago and don't recall seeing a Nissan logo, but it's possible I could have missed it. I suspect the "Y20xxx" numbers stamped on the bottom are most likely production codes; meaning they were manufactured this year. I have a picture of one of mine and it has the same format, unfortunately I can't read the digits prior to the dash, just an -001.

Just curious, my stock ones had some different numbers on the inside when I removed them. I wanted to do the seals too but my valve cover cracked completely and has a hole. Thanks for your help. Actually went to Nissan and they said they do look OEM as well.

Looks like OEM, Paraut is a major OEM supplier in Japan so they're probably who actually makes the VC's.
