Yes the screws are the easiest way to tell.

No, You can change the screws !! All you have to do is find a bad one & make the switch.. The best way is... all Original ones had the stems nickel plated & with a very small plug @ its base.. The re-pops are all solid brass & not plated..
 
Plus, the round interior surface of original Junior Moto-Meters are painted flat black. And the stem threads are fine thread on the originals versus course threads on the repops. Oh', and originals are a heck of a lot more accurate.:)

Once you've seen them both, you can tell by the red thermometer column. The original has a much wider viewing angle & is easier to see. The metal base on my original was cracked & disintegrating, so I bought a new motometer. I like the solid brass construction & finish, but as my only temp indicator, its' performance was miserable! I managed to install the old thermometer element & black painted face plate in the new housing. Best of both worlds...
