Default fuel pump identification

Hi all. I ordered a walbro fuel pump to fit to my car before I have it rebuilt and remapped. Just started stripping out the old one this evening in preparation for the walbro arriving tomorrow..........and low and behold this distinctly aftermarket looking item was fitted. Now I don't have the walbro yet to compare, can anyone identify it? The part of the sticker that is exposed says "fuel pump" and the engraving on the pump itself that I can see says "made in USA"...... so presumably a Walbro? At the bottom, mostly covered by the bottom rubber hose has a little redish anodized looking section.

So if anyone knows what it is the main question I have is.............do I keep this one and sell the new walbro on when it arrives? Could do with saving some pennies after just buying the car then straight away shelling out for a rebuild, clutch and remap! Or do I just fit the walbro as originally intended?

Cheers

All of the Walbro pumps I've seen have the Walbro emblem stamped on them. Can't tell if that has or not from the pics but I'm not sure it is one.

I'd be inclined to fit the new pump as at least you know that one is new. You don't know how old and tired the old one may or may not be.
