Default Stock converter?? (pics)

Im pulled my trans out about a week ago. I noticed when I pulled the shield off that the converter was Painted. The stock converter in my GTP wasnt painted and had a sticker tag on it. Just wondering if this one is stock. I know some of you guys can tell me if it is or not!

Thats a remanufactured converter. The DGHF is an identifying code that tells what the stall speed is, converter clutch material, and a bunch of other stuff I forgot.
The code is on a sticker when it leaves GM.
You might also find match marks on each half, on the OD, one mark on each side of the weld where it was marked so it could be realigned (and not rebalanced) when put back together.
D=30 spline B29
G=1200-1400 stall speed
H= carbon filled clutch
F=basically means not from a diesel

I disagree. It's a rebuilt OE converter.

In addition to what I said in the above post, the yellow marking is a date code.
I had a girlfriend that used to deliver for the biggest converter rebuilder in south florida, and I spent a lot of time in their shop.

Original was the key word in my statement. We both know that it is a remanufactured converter.
