Default Aftermarket Fuel injectors-Real or Fake??

I bought some Venom 550cc fuel injectors from a private seller on EBAY listed as unused and new condition .
They came yesterday in a Venom box, And they do look to be the ones pictured in the listing and new.
They have "Denso" enscribed on them, But what i dont see is anything on them indicating they are Venom injectors. Nor do i see a size on them .
Shouldnt there be a "Venom" label on them somewhere? And what im even more concerned with is, how would i confirm they're actually 550cc injectors?

almost every injector in the world is made by one of a couple companies...

almost all aftermarket companies either resell them, or modify the internals of them and resell them...

sounds perfectly legit to me...

as far as flow goes, the only way to really know is to have them flow tested, as most injectors are the same on the outside...

are there any numbers inscribed on them anywhere? on mitsubishi's, the flow rate is right below the wiring plug in the plastic...

Thanks for the clearing that up. I was just surprised that theres no company label, and the #s on the injectors dont match the part # on the box. They are all the same part # though. 23250-74140 . I tried to take a pic, but my camera doesnt take very detailed pics.
Anyhow I may just have them flow tested before i install to be sure.
-Thanks again
