Unfortunately a good repro base may be hard to distinguish from a factory piece. (IIRC, the later tails were made of a material called "Fibron" which is a bit different from fiberglass.)
A very common scenario is a repro base and factory rubber lip. The lip is harder produce accurately and most copies are spotted easily, especially as they age.
