Identifying NOS Door

I was wondering if there are any identifiers on an NOS door versus an aftermarket door. I have someone trying to sell me an "NOS door" but they dont have the original packaging, and I'm concerned they may be pulling my leg.

Thanks for the help... also please let me know if you have experience with the fit & finish of aftermarket doors.

I figured there had to be a designator on it somewhere... either a sticker or stamping. Thanks for the heads up... I'll look for the factory sticker. The guy lives two hrs from me, and I wanted to be prepared before I make the trip to review the door.

Thanks again...

Do those stickers say 2007 or 1997? When my truck was vandalized in 97 (a-holes kicked in the doors) the collision place said Ford still had new doors, something like $650 a piece. I ended up just replacing the door skins myself, but I have always wondered if FORD really did still have new doors.
