Default Aftermarket Style versus OEM Fender

Hi all. I tried searching but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

How can you tell the difference between an aftermarket style fender vs an oem fender for the dc's. I need to buy one and I'm going to check out this car and I want to make sure it's oem. It's coming from a 95, so there won't be any vin stickers for me to easily determine if this fender is oem or not.

Are there any stamps or markings I can look for? If so, I'm assuming they'd be on the underside of the fender so I would have to remove the fenders to verify stamps or markings.

Thanks

If it's OEM it should have an RDOT sticker on it. If it's aftermarket it may have a CAPA (if it's a certified part) sticker on it.
