It is real one. The stamp is M.S.I. Co, Philly pressing plant

The position of the stamp is not fixed. But its mere presence denotes an original.
Yes it’s that time old question. Do I have an original or not.
Discogs states:-
Original stock and Promo copies also have a raised 3-digit 'hallmark' under both A & B labels. On some Promo copies they are situated:
A - below the G in SANDBAG
B - bridging the A and N in SANDBAG.
On some copies they are aligned differently and sometimes only on one side.
The 1970's bootleg with identical copied labels has a pronounced concave centre and a 9.5mm run-out groove as opposed to 8mm on this original.
My copy has a very slight raised number under the label on the ‘Where Were You’ side - see close up on first picture and it IS under the ‘G’ in SANDBAG. I can’t find it in the YDLM side but it so feint on the other side it might be not visible
I can’t compare the runout measurements as described above as my label is slightly off centre.
My copy also has a slight ridge in the label but so does the picture that appears on Discogs.
So what do I have???
