How Can You Tell an Original Stingray Chain Ring from a Repro?

-
Just received a chain ring for a sixties Stingray I bought on ebay. It does not look original as was stated in the description. It looks to be a recent repro. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell them apart?
 
Are you talking about the 7 hole juvenile chain ring that was used for decades? This one is a China reproduction and the teeth don't look like the actual Schwinn's. The finish looks like the metal was sand blasted and then plated.

1. So there is no stamping on the originals?
2. Is the small positioning hole round or oblong on an original?
3. And were there different diameters of the Lucky 7 or were they always one size diameter?
