First of all you should buy a Vu+ box from a official reseller of your region or state. This action minimize the issue to buy a clone box (not supported anymore from this Team).

Yes , I would agree , the one the first picture looks like original, but there is something wrong with the MAC ID label on the Scart housing ! Mine is looking different. If I was you I would send both pictures to suport@vuplus.com for idntification
 
Can you not just to tell just by the mac address of the device - Each manufacturer uses a unique element of a mac address to identify manufacturer - In my case both my duo and solo have a mac address '00-1d-ec' as the first three octets - I would expect that on a clone the mac address would be of different format ? and that all genuine Vu+'s would have a mac address format with the first three octets being as mine. The simplest way to determine the mac address is to open a dos window from a pc connected to the same network as your vu+ and run the command arp-a

It's too simple to clone-makers to use a fake mac address for their cloned products.
 
I can confirm the first image is a genuine vu duo - it was a photo I posted on another website.
Warning - the power supply is brought onto the board differently on the clone.
