It looks that fake parts are becoming a plague- Many can be indentified quite
easily because of a different colour or slightly different shape. I recently
got two copies of the light bluishgray turntable bottom that have a correct shape
of colour but miss the word LEGO, however have as dot in the cross similar to
LEGO. Now I know from the tiles they have different texts on the bottom so this
may be the same for these parts. Illustrated are two genuine LEGO parts and the
two I doubt about.

Maybe there is someone who can tell me whether this is original, and if they
are fake let this be a warning for everyone.

Most of my older turntables look just like that, I actually don't have very
many with the LEGO logo at all. They're real.

They look real to me. I have plenty of them without a LEGO logo.
