2x Sanwei 75 Inner. fake?

I bought 2x Sanwei 75 Inner.
The one on the left weighs 95g (above the upper weight limit according to the manufacturer). Clearly a koto layer.

The one on the right, not sure if it's koto, weight 88g (within the manufacturer's specification).
Which one would you choose? I'm 183cm. I have a larger hand. The heavier one has a slightly larger grip, more comfortable for me.

Mine plays great. It is 88g, and looks like the scaly one

Funny, I have two Fextra 5s with the same difference on the top plies. One that has the "normal" wood pattern (if that's a thing) and one that clearly looks like koto (scaly).
