Personally I have yet to see a correct looking fake/aftermarket insert that could pass as genuine. If an aftermarket 1675/16750 Pepsi or Black insert exists that is an exact clone of the original.... well Ive yet to see it.
Im not making an argument for or against Blueberry's I'm just puzzled by how spot on some of the fonts & appearance are to the genuine Pepsi's & Blacks??
Thanks

There is a guy in Florida selling "spot on" replicas, fakes or whatever word you prefer to describe them. He sells various types of inserts to include "fuchsia" "Pepsi" inserts with a blue back. And, they have correct fonts. I'm sure that he is not the only person that has sold these "correct" replica inserts currently or in the past.
I've seen other replicas in the past too that mimic the correct fonts.
Then there is the outer ridge dimple found on the backside of some of the genuine inserts. Most notably found on the solid gold or brown and two-tone acrylic model GMT inserts as well as some of the acrylic model "Pepsi" and "Blueberry" inserts. I've seen all of these in person. It leads to more questions indeed since the ridge dimple is found on various genuine inserts - not all, but some of them. I can not explain why the dimple is there, but I can only surmise that it has something to do with the manufacturer and/or manufacturing process.
The dimples as seen below:
