The plug is a hex-head machin thread item, located down low on the left front, by the oil pan flange, near the oil filter adapter. Could still be a fake but not likely with the plug and the bump for the galley.
I've seen an article on this with photo examples. Thanks for all the help here - I'll be looking for all the indicators including the hex head machine bolt on the front of the block.
