Thank you! Why do they not put PN on all the parts? Or even copyright Lego?

| 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

Interesting.
Are there two different molds? One with the actual number and one without?
Lego Technic parts tend to not have any Lego numbers on them (at least in the
past).

They're both legit LEGO parts, just two different molds that were made during
different years:
The orange one has rounded ends, and was made for sets between ~2004-2008:
The black one has squared (or 'flat' ) ends, and was made for sets between
~2008-2010:
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.
