This can happen if a part is returned under a QA audit, or a warranty claim, or simply if returned to the CDC as unused, and the system will reassign a new "in stock" date code.

I suspect this has been a return from an unscrupulous dealer, as it would not have had SNR literature in with a FAG bearing.

Send it back for exchange, both bearings I bought from XPart were SNR, and resembled the original items identically, with drop forged housing, not as in the case here with a machined mild steel housing with induction hardened outer races.

I was under the impression that SNR were / are a manufacturer, not a parts distributor as I have been informed.

I would have thought it unlikely that SNR would re-distribute a FAG bearing as their own?

More and more seems to be re-branded re-boxed not what is says on the tin but same money if your lucky.
