I have 2 18650 and 1 18350. One of my 18650's just came today and the print on it is diffrent than the other 2 AW's.

My question is....could any of these be clones?

The 2 top ones in the pic came from a highly suggested vendor for AW batteries.

The bottom one came from another vendor.

The 18350 doesn't not look like a AW IMR battery. The other 2 do but there have been some AW IMR label tampering with these batts so it's hard to say. I have 6 AW IMR 18650 batts and the AW sticker is in the same place on each one. The AW stickers in your pic show them in different places so I'd be suspicious of that middle one.
