They are both original. US version on the left and European on the right with the VLM switch designed in 1968 by the Castiglioni brothers.

my two cents...
Kartell was imported to the U.S. by George Kovacs. The lamps were not wired because Kartell did not want to apply for UL approval. We had the same problem in Canada with the CSA approval. Canadian lamps were wired by Danesco in Montreal according to CSA standards in the very same way as George Kovacs wired them for the U.S. according to UL standards.
