Fake Conti Terra Trail tyre?

Is it me, or does this look like a counterfeit Conti Terra Trail

  1. Conti don’t list the Terra Trail in 45 width.
  2. Look at the colour of the tan wall.

Am I right? Or have Conti started producing yellow side-walled tyres, and a 45c version of the Terra Trail?

*Edit: I see Conti do now list the tyre in 45, but only in Shieldwall, and only in Black and Tan, but not Cream (certainly not yellow). Maybe the eBay listing is for overpriced OEM ? This would align with the all white decals on the black version.

They have a cream colour as well. Doesn’t look quite as lemon meringue as this one, but there is a third colourway. Probably just a bad photoshop.

Mentions origin “mainland China”, where only the lower spec Conti bike tires are made. The higher quality ones are produced in Germany.

It also mentions “no box” so I’d say it’s non-official/non-consumer product (possibly cheaper e-bike OEM, yes - so overpriced at +60 USD).
