I'll take some pics for you for comparison. When I get a chance. The slight differences you're seeing, are the differences between titanium and steel. Titanium is lighter, and tends to be more brittle, so they have to reinforce certain spots with a more hardened version.
As far as the sellers information. It's false, yes, but because he's ignorant. he bought it from a guy that said those things. Never attribute malice to what is most likely ignorance.
