That looks very much like the original SNR bearing has been removed from the packaging, and a different one put back in it's place FAG.

FAG is a trading name of Schaeffler AG, who own INA and LUK, so it's unlikely to be tat, and if you look at the labelling on the box, you will see there are actually two stickers.

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.
