Question about Messiah 2

I already have messiah2 modded on my playstation and i've decided to buy a new one for a customer. The messiah i've bought has the following code in the chip.

Actel ProAsic Plus
APA075 -F
TQ100 0343
MS2

ps: at the back of the chip there is a label like this :

Messiah2 Firmware V.1.33b

i have searched all over the net to find same chip as this but i cant find one. Is this chip genuine ? Should i install it to the customer ? Does the diagram differs from the standard 1.33b version ? Plz dont flame me i am not a noob i am just in despair.

THnx in advance

You have laitest pcb from messiah 2. There is one " + " after Messiah 2, not on the actel chip, but on the pcb, but revision is the same as previous 1.33b

Sorry, my mistake.
I meant it's genuine. I buy them from foundmy.
They have exact the same you have at the moment.

yes those are official, except the latest batch (just made last week) now look different from those. They don't have the programming lines on the side of the board, the newer v1.33b (well pcb) look like the older style PCB boards... (I think they found they had some older boards lying around, so they put v1.33b on them).
