Arduino UNO R3 weird packaging

Official Hardware Classic UNO R3

Hi.

I recently bought this Arduino UNO R3 from an amazon third-party seller (not my first arduino). It has this weird packaging which stood out quite easily. I googled this issue and it showed a total of 2 posts about this and the thing that terrifies me is that both are from 8 years ago!! (Post 1 and Post 2 ).

Mine does not say manufactured under license from arduino, however it does feature the same packaging. I have never seen this sort of packaging before and the arduino color itself is dark green as supposed to the teal or blue and green mix of most arduinos. Is this an authentic Arduino and should I return it? It seems to boot up as a regular arduino and the basic programs work on it.

Funny enough the seller actually features pictures from the Arduino store with the proper box and UNO R3 instead of UNO being written on the Arduino.
I have attached a picture of the arduino and the packaging below:

Fair enough I did just describe exactly what that page says and I have seen it before. Though in the first attached link the system admin does say it is genuine. That's the reason I'm asking, no clue whether or not this is actually genuine.

If it was sold to you as a genuine Arduino return it, if not you probably do not have any recourse.
