48 IDA's Genuine or Inferior?

Hi all, i'm currently putting together a 2332 & after some of you're guys knowledge on some Webers i've been offered. I have no doubt that the guy's genuine but unsure on the carbs. They are new & unused but bought just over 2 years ago but have no markings where they are made but are marked up Weber. They have come over the pond from the US, possilbly Redline. I've heard rumours of moody or inferior Webers - what's the deal? Here's the only pics i have any info would be appreciated.

If they don't say "Italy" then they are Spanish.

Cheers guys, i knew they weren't Italian but didn't know if there were others about that weren't even Spanish. I thought the Spanish were marked up so & these might be Chinese or S. American jobbies!!

The colour of the casting is completely off from the Italian carbs. That bothers the shit out of me!

They have the same blue "QC" markings on the top of the carb, as my spanish ones have.
