Is it Real Cold Steel?

I recently acquired a Vintage Cold Steel Kurki. I think it is a Cold Steel Gurkha Light Kukri Carbon V 35GLK. However I have come to doubt that it is real. The tang stamp is not in the right orientation compared to some others I have seen online. I did find out that there may have been more than one maker of this model for Cold Steel, which might explain the different tang stamp, or it could be the early production versus new production, but I couldn't find anything on that. Can Anyone here provide any opinions or information?

That looks like a Gurkha Kukri model 35ATCBB to me. I don't see anything that screams "FAKE".

Here are some pics from a Cold Steel catalog. They only show one side of the knife in the catalogs, so only one blade stamp.
