Although I can't read the last part of the number, the GFE6A and the logo and HAD are the same.
I'd go so far as to say that seller's mistaken and that's stock.
Retracted after realising what the difference is.
For reference, mine's a UK 03

Right ... I have my old/standard '05 one in my hand.
Says - HAD, and GFG6A50214.
On now is the "new" spoon one - Venturi big throttle.

right, then we have a mystery to solve
the last owner of my car said that it had a Spoon throttle body
that link I posted is supposed to be of a Spoon throttle body
and is identical to the body on my car
and yours too, by the sound of it, which I am assuming is oem
this is complicated by my understanding that only internals may have been changed
is there any easy way to find out what I have on my car?
(and no, I don't have a receipt!)

does the new one look any different/is it a modified oem housing?

Gad... AFAIK "Spoon" buy standard throttlebody parts are rework them, so they will still have the same markings.

I've just dug a little deeper and that line "this is complicated by my understanding that only internals may have been changed" is what I'm seeing too. OEM part but bored out.
I'm still surprised they don't emboss Spoon on the outside though.
I suspect only disconnection and measurement will reveal the true identity.
