Hi Unknown! Your charger looks real to me. Apple has multiple versions of each charger (probably so they can negotiate one manufacturer against another), so don't worry that the photos don't match. Signs that it is real: Your charger is crammed full of parts with many ICs - they aren't trying to save money. Lots of insulation between primary and secondary sides - the slots in the PCB and the plastic insulators. Heat-shrink insulation where the AC wires are soldered to the plug. So I think you're okay.
