Default Possibly newish brake actuator?

Hey everyone. I dont have a good vehicle history report on my ls460 but Im trying to decide on wether to do my engine mounts and dont want another headache after I shell out close to 3 grand. I know this is going to sound crazy but can anyone tell from these pics if they think it is a newish (been replaced) brake actuator?




It doesnt seem oxidized like all the other aluminum parts, the plastic looks newer then the other pieces on the car and the decal isnt faded.
Theres really not much to go on from just looking at it but I was wondering what peoples opinions might be? Car has 125k and on east coast so a lot of the aluminum is really oxidized.

Mechanics look for "witness" ( wrench ) marks on bolts and screws to tell if someone has been working on any car part. It's recommended to change brake fluid every few years as preventive maintenance.
