      manufacturer had used the incorrect stock photo for the part

      That’s apparently really common. It’s a lot of trouble to bring every transmission, door handle, gas tank, hood hinge, etc… into the studio for a reference image. They use a “basic” image a lot of the times.

        I had the good fortune to be able to buy ebay car parts that are exclusively photographed on a dirty workbench, and they’ve always worked like a charm.

          Used market is a bit easier to do that as both the seller and buyer understand that having a clear set with proper lighting isn’t necessary.
