It looks great
to me.
But I have never seen a wire chair on an stacking base.
Maybe that was on request of Sony?
I would put H-bases underneath and enjoy them!!!
Nice found :))

Thanks for the response
Any other tell tale signs I have to take into consideration to differentiate between fake and real
(ie. Cap screws , numbering etc)

Okay
Shape of the shell does not look right.
I believe the chairs may still be Vitra, it just looks weird to me compared to the original shell shape.

Current Vitra production
Wire shells certainly have a more rounded top edge than vintage, but the chair in question looks even more rounded in the photo provided above. The mounting system looks the same as Vitra though.
