Is there any way to tell a real chip from a clone chip? [alladin adv]

I just bought a bunch of alladin chips and I was wondering if theres any way to check if they are real or clones.

The pic you posted as official looks the same as the clones here (http://www.robotpig.com/show_book.php?isbn=0002)

I noticed that also, but the official chips should have the same bios chip as the pic.
