Default Identifying a factory spoiler

I had the factory spoiler taken off of my 1998 Civic coupe and am wondering if the spoiler is indeed a factory unit or an aftermarket one that the dealer threw on.

-It's got the LED third brake light
-It has "HONDA" stamped on the underside of the the mounting surfaces (by each of the two screws)
-The brake light itself has the "STANLEY" name on it

Any other ways to tell if it's a real OEM spoiler or an aftermarket jobber?

I've got one of the stamped "HONDA" name, but I can't upload them till tonight (they're at home, I'm at work)

Looks like a genuine article to me. For a 4 door isnt it?

EDIT: Nope i guess it is on a 2 door. Hmmmmm

I highly doubt any knockoff would have HONDA stamped on it. Does it have a part number stamped on it too?

Stanley does indeed supply OEM light units (along with Koito).

I think it's a part number. It's kinda hard to read because the paint covers the numbers. Thanks for your help guys.
