Original Hoffman vs Fake Hoffman Radiator Air Valves (for heat)

Do you know if there is a difference between the ITT Hoffman specialty valve 41 connector vs the Hoffman Specialty Bell and Gossett (a xylem brand) valve. I usually buy the original hoffman valves by Bell and Gossett. It comes in a bright red box and says Bell & Gossett, a xylem brand.

But my repair man showed up with a Hoffman valve that said Ventor on the valve. It came in a red box that said HOFFMAN. At the side it said Hoffman ITT.
But the valve itself was much more lighter than the Hoffman valves I have bought in the past. Is this a knock off valve or is it an original before. It said Made in Taiwan as well. I am curious if anyone has encountered this.

Would love to hear any explanation
