  The internal construction looks genuine, even though the photos don't show the most distinguishing features ("diamond" embossed in glass bottom and the getter wire attachment). However - that's a ribbed-plate TF ECC83, and it will have more prominent treble and not the magic upper-mids of the smooth-plate TF ECC83.

    I like the spritely top end of Tele ribbed plate. What would be nice is to maintain the treble energy but maybe add a little more microdetail and texture to midrange. Is the smooth plate moving in that direction or become smoother/rounder?

      The smooth-plate Telefunken ECC83 has a more prominent upper midrange than the T-funk ribbed-plate, but has less treble. I don't think it is what you're describing in your wish. But lots of folks like what it does to vocal recordings because of the unique upper-mids.
