Difficult to say, as a lot of Mazda valves are rebranded valves from other factories.

IMHO the writing appears too crisp and the internal metal plates are just too clean.

Have a look at eBay item number 254252775619These have what looks like a small ribbing in the plates, which is missing from the pictures above. |

I dunno.......the way the pins are laid out inside the glass looks very close to an original and any fakes probably wouldn't do to those lengths.
Also the pins are bent, which you simply don't get these day from a newly made valve.
