If it had TA work done recently, that section of the tractor would be clean, even painted, depending on who did the work. It would look out of place.
Easy to tell if it has the wrong hood, or the right hood with the wrong decal. Someone with a verified SMTA measure their hood. You measure this one. If they're the same length, then it was painted with the wrong decal.
Even if it's a "parts" SMTA, what makes it any less legitimate? It would have to be built from SMTA parts, so wouldn't it still be an SMTA? You can even make a case for some 400 and/or 450 (ABCD casting codes) parts being on the tractor, as IH would've offered replacement parts for the SMTA for several years after production ended.
Frankly, if you have a pile of parts, and you put it together into a tractor that looks and functions like an SMTA, and those parts could plausibly end up as part of an SMTA due to wear and/or abuse, then it's a legitimate tractor.
If you "correct police" want to avoid being total hypocrites, then the tractor must have the original oil filter. Otherwise it's not "original."
