Original?... What do you all think?...

Looks like Westinghouse handles on new fabricated lids... AND looks like they cut rare OC81 embossings out
and welded them into this cooler....    Sorry it's late here.. and the cough syrup and medicines are
starting to kick in.

Hard to say, a good metal worker can make anything look original. But ask for pictures of the restoration process, any restorer knows that if you have a machine that is known to be faked, then you need restoration pictures to prove it is original. If all you have is finished project with no evidence of what it was, then your trusting the sellers word, and thats the last person you want to listen too when buying anything.

I'd say the cooler is an origianl Pelco 510E and they bondo'd in the louvers on the front and put new repro lids on top..

but the cooler body itself , looks just like a Pelco Orange Crush I had..
