Icon2 Identifying an OEM vs. aftermarket brand radiator?

Hi all,

I'm interested in answering a classified ad for a second-hand radiator for my 1994 Civic Hatchback. The seller claims it's OEM Honda, never installed. The price is right: $50.

I was wondering if there's a way to identify an OEM Honda rad vs. an aftermarket one? eg., will there be markings or a part number on the OEM radiator that I should look for?

Exact photos of the rad are here:

I believe on the top of the radiator there will be DENSO and a part number.
