They all looked to be exactly identical pumps, so they may have all been China and someone just marked box 1 wrong. They were all clearly the appropriate pump for the 3.2L merc. All pumps I have handled appear to be identical at this point.
Added data about the Gates pump.
Interesting. Yeah I'm pretty sure the stock one has german writing on it. I'll have to look at my old one.
