Is this a genuine Papo gharial?

On the Dinosaur Toy Forum I was very kindly sent links to potential Papo gharials on RuTen.  The first one, which looked the most genuine was sold out.  The other three looked identical and said they had 99 of them available each.  I have a feeling these three are actually bootlegs, but I would like to know what others think.  Here's a link to one of them: https://www.ruten.com.tw/item/show?22217727880893  I think it's most likely a bootleg because the keels of its osteoderms are yellow, unlike genuine ones I've seen and there is also a seam on the left side of the torso which isn't there on the one reviewed for the Animal Toy Blog.

Looks genuine to me, although I am not saying it is...

They are probably using original Papo promo pics.
