Daytona movement - opinions please

I am looking at a Daytona and I was provided several photos, the attached photo is being passed as an authentic Daytona movement from an A-serial watch. I am not too familiar with the Daytona watch, I believe the zenith movement would be the appropriate movement for this watch with a number of 4030. The movement below is inside an authentic case serialized with matching papers.

Comments please.

Appears above movement is fake

This is what the Model 16523 movement should look like.

I will end up having a conversation with myself by the time this day is over.

Can anyone comment on the type of movement above?

OR is the guard movement shifted and this is the reason it does not resemble the real movement?!!

sorry buddy but that movement is correct,take a look at the rotor and see how its shifted a bit from one to the other..thats why it appears like its a different movement.

The movemens are identical.
Please note the location of the rotor in relation to the crown in each photo!
