as far as im aware they are NOT the forks that the bike left the showroom with when new, nitrade forks are fitted post about 2001 on some models for example the 996s, for sure there must be a reason for a change of forks even if its just owner preferance / upgrade. the tops are also gold and looks like he has put stickers on them to make them appear to the unknowledgeable to be ohlins, when they are showas items from what i can see.

if ytour looking at this bike checak the head stock/ yokes for damage to the lockstops, will give u some idea
