I'm pretty sure both of these crossbows are genuine LEGO but I am having
a hard time figuring out what the color is for the top one. It is also missing
the part number and "LEGO" like the bottom one. Perhaps an older part
since it is missing "LEGO"? But, what color?

The part number is 2570
 
Part No: 2570 Name: Minifigure, Weapon Crossbow
* 		2570 Minifigure, Weapon Crossbow
Parts: Minifigure, Weapon {Reddish Brown}

It could be Pearl Dark Gray, but curiously, all colors seems to have the LEGO
logo... not sure about it !

Looks like the Pearl Dark Gray version of this part first came out in 2010 -
I can totally see a part from this era lacking a microprinted logo
