Default Genuine Series 1 Windscreen Question. Which one can U help?

I have a chip on my windscreen that I have been told can't be fixed. So I got a 2nd hand windscreen off ebay they other day. It is a bronze tint with the arched sunstrip along the top, so I assumed its a genuine ford screen.

What I need to know is were there any after market bronze tint windscreens a while back? I ask this as the engraving in the corner of the screen is not the same as my genuine ford one that says W in the corner
This one says ELVEX in the corner. Which is the correct one?
Which one do you guys have?
I can take a picture if needed.
Thanks

The Original Glass, on the passenger door, drivers door, quarter windows, and rear screen should be Sekurit. The Front Screen should be stamped with the ford logo and details down the bottom in the middle of the screen.
