if I remember "microprinting (or something along that line)" was only recently
made more standard so a lot of "older" parts don't have the lego logo or
part number on them
That mid-to-late-2000s Bionicle phase of LEGO was a real wild one for parts &
colors!
You can say that again! I got in a 25 pound box of "assorted Lego pieces" for
very cheap. Turns out they were almost entirely Bionicle and Hero Factory. So
many little pieces, so similar, and yet tiny little differences, like flat vs
round ends, angled legs on the ball joint holders vs straight, open sides vs
closed. Driving me nuts!

Honestly, bionicle is a pain to learn. Your best bet is to figure out what sets
are there in partial, and then part out those sets so you don't mix up the
variants. I made a number of mistakes when I started out doing bionicle
Also check all the ball joint connectors for cracks.
