Default is there a way to tell if a SS hood is OEM?

I have a Z28 with a SS hood. the hood was on the car when I got it. I am thinking about selling it and getting a light wieght hood. I didn't want to say it is OEM if its not. by the way it is a 98

Someone told me the badge or part # is located under where the hood shock/strut connects to the hood. Haven't checked it out yet nor do I know if this applies to aftermarket hoods only.

Well I didn't see any part numbers so the real SS hood has a part number right?

I think that the real ss and ws6 hoods don't have rivets in them holding the baffles inside the ram air part....but im sure other people will chime in too.
