Can anyone identify the filter on this GP-5?

Can anyone identify the filter on this GP-5?

I'm looking for a GP-5 on Ebay and this seller, BiggerBulletsLLC if it helps, had this listed. There's nothing about health risks, but the filter in the photo doesn't look like a normal GP-5 filter. Is it? And if not, does it still contain asbestos?

Why are GP-5s on EBay so cheap?

I've been looking for a gp-5 to grow my collection. I figured it'd be a cool collection item, given I replace the filter (I saw a post about how the asbestos is too minimal to kill you but I'm still skeptical.) I looked on Ebay and they're going for 30-40 dollars! Are they supposed to be this cheap? Is it just because they're mass produced? I even see some claiming to be from Soviet eras, which seems pretty unbelievable for 30 dollars.

Picked up a phalanx yesterday and just now noticed that one of the straps is on backwards.

Is this important? I'm not planning on using the mask but for proper use is it important? If so, any ways to fix it without taking off the sewing?

Picked up an MSA phalanx from a milsurp. How is it for a collection starter?

It's got the mouth cover thing too which is cool

Everywhere I look it's some stupid one meant for weird kinks, and I don't know if they're legitimate masks or not and DEFINITELY don't want to buy one and find out. Is Etsy reliable? I see a lot on there. If it helps I'm looking for an Avon FM-12 to start a collection.

I saw a video on it saying they somehow caused it and it left me confused. ​I tried looking it up and it didn't say it was like a conspiracy or anything. I can't find anything at all. Not really trying to point fingers I just don't get why people are blaming it on them? Is there actual evidence? Is it people just saying shit?
