That's exactly my fear!
Like said before, the Rothmans design looks that good to me that I would probably also take a well converted R or SE but then I of course don't want to pay an SPs price!
I had a look on different history / overview sites (of course as well this one here).
One thing these sites overcome is, that the MC21 Rothmans has been released at first 1992 so every earlier MC21 Rothmans should obviously be a "fake" (while a 1988 MC18 Rothmans can be a genuine SP!).
But unfotunately that doesn't automatically mean that every 1992 or 1993 Rothmans MC21 is genuine
Obviously the wheels seem to be an important characteristic! On the earlier MC18 it seemed to be easier to recognize the Magtek wheels as they were golden painted (?).
But on the MC21 the colour also of the Magtek wheels obviously followed the bikes design.
So is there an easy way to distinguish the Magtek from the cheaper alluminium wheels already on a picture? I tried to distinguish but didn't succeded so far.
Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany
