To me, genuine, dirty plate (gunk on the plate at top that didn't get wiped off, causing the overinking effect) EFO.

If you look at the bottom half of the left stamp, all the fine details are there and appear accurate. In fact, the bottom half of the left stamp actually looks sharper than the right stamp (look at beard, meshwork in the background...)
