and on some clones and counterfeit the silver component on the left is rated 16 V instaed of normal 25V
does it make any difference
(i have attached fake and real arduino images)

If it is counterfeit then the answer is NO, don't buy it. Counterfeit would mean that someone is pretending it is a genuine Arduino when it is not.
It is perfectly legal to make and sell clones of the Arduino boards - provided they don't claim to be genuine Arduinos.
On my genuine Uno the capacitors are rated at 16v. A higher voltage would be no problem.

Say what? ???
Edit, you are saying the lager voltage rating is okay.

Yes. The OP has asked whether a board with 25v capacitors would be OK?
Or perhaps he has asked if 25v is standard then is 16v OK?. As far as I can see 16v is standard.
