Looks like possibly an original cable, but the terminal end replaced.

You have to be carefull because some of the earlest Marti battery cables are old enough now and have slight patina that they can give people a high confidence level that they are genuine. I have seen pookie and others selling them to uninformed for big money. When Marti first started doing them they were using correct size wire no the ony thing he can get is metric and slightly thicker. Yes the terminal end does not look correct.
