When i bought them MattDub did think that the earlier ones were not stamped which was why i didnt worry and just went and bought the stickers to put on.

But now im seriously worried.... so if anyone knows id seriously appreciate it.

Never seen any unstamped ukai's myself  :-\
The stamp is always on the right hand side of the valve hole too where as yours is on the left  ???
