I don't think the 2nd pic helps your case, from the pic the engine looks like it was just repainted.
Fresh orange engine paint, new valve cover decal, even the fuel line and tower hose clamp is painted orange.
The air cleaner still in its original old black paint and you can see where the decal used to be.
That pic looks very much like they just repainted the alt bracket the wrong color.
