That DOES look odd! Definitely cut that sucker open (if you don't return them). I thought the discussion was about blaming the number of dots around the diamond.
EDIT: One more thing.. What seller did you get these from on Amazon??
idk what made my spider sense tingle from the moment the filters arrived, but at this point im glad they did! The seller was "Mower Partsman." I chose that seller because in the questions section on Amazon, you can see that the specifically guarantee that you will get A01 filters instead of A02...
That seller has a very good reputation on Amazon, it increases my confidence they are not fake. However I have not ever bought from him.

Best way to cut them is with a filter cutter, Summit, Jegs and Amazon carry them. You can also use a muffler pipe cutter or chan type pipe cutter. Might as well just get a filter cutter, you're going to want to cut and post the used ones for us too
If you don't want to mess with it, you can send it to me an I will do it. PM me if you are interested in that.
i'll might take you up on that offer. If I don't just cut it open with my dremel, I would prefer it to be cut as cleanly as possible, and instead of me trying to take pictures and send you guys the pictures, you'll know best what to look for and you can post it. I would probably send you all 5 of them, and you can inspect them. I would appreciate getting them back, even the cut open ones in case I decide to try and file a complaint with amazon or something. I would obviously pay shipping both directions. I will let you know.
Just let me know, I'll help however you like (including sending them back). I think I do a pretty good job with clean cuts and pictures.... It won't be my first A01 either.
