The cecals are certainly fake.
Could you please provide details of the seller for future reference?

Decal is a reproduction part. Paint work is too thin and the wrong color and front is detailed in silver. The sellers first ebay transaction was to buy reproduction parts (and probably this decal). If some fool buys this van it will be the seller's second ebay transaction but most likely not his first crime involving fraud!

As fakes go, this really is a pretty poor one. For future reference, the seller is jeep_gladiator58.
