They've been obsolete since 2012, so if mine are genuine, they'll be NOS. Better that than fake. I'll also pick up a selection of Chinese ones to compare - in fairness, they might be absolutely fine... Even if those are fake, they'll probably perform well enough in IF strips, and compared to the BC548-style transistors, they have the advantage of the BEC pinout.
