Bought a 2nd hand board - real or fake carver trucks?!?

I bought a used Loaded Omakase. The seller was selling it on behalf of a friend and admitted he didn't know much about it himself. It was hard to tell from the photos which trucks were installed, but when I asked, he said they must be Paris trucks. When it arrived today, I saw that they're Carver trucks—I assume CX. Which isn't a big deal, since I just wanted to see how a surfskate rides.

However, what struck me when I did a quick search online for Carver CX is that both trucks look identical, and there’s no engraving indicating which model it is or which is the front and which is the rear truck.

Is this an original Carver or just a Chinese knockoff?

UPDATE: these are CARVER CV trucks designed specifically for carving, freeriding, and downhill. (Thanks Important-Aide-8374 for the helpful info!)
