The third pic has a bit of tape over the logo, so the seller appears to be saying 'don't assume it's a Valeo'.

Anyway, from my experience - the best way to tell a real Valeo from a non-Valeo is the action of the buttons. A real one has perfect spacing between the top of the microswitch and the underside of the button press - hence you get a decisive 'click' when the button is pressed. A non-Valeo doesn't have the correct spacing and the buttons are slushy. All of the fobs I've tried so far (which is quite a few ) have had slushy buttons.
