They look like real Shimano XTRs SPD pedals. 9100 is the correct number.

Get the hell outta here, roadie.
Just kidding.
What makes you think they are fake?

If the price is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.

I’ve had a few pairs of fake XTs (didn’t know they were fake until after buying) and compared them to known real XTs. Basically, it’s really goddamn hard to tell they’re fake. There are a few differences visually but if you don’t have detailed pics of the known good ones to compare to you’re kinda guessing. Big giveaways for the XT were some slightly different shapes on the edges, and painted matte spindle on fakes vs just being matte metal on the real ones.
Yeah I get this doesn’t help you because you’re trying to buy XTR, but beware. The fakes are very convincing.
They also lasted for thousands of miles so I can’t complain too much.

So like, how much money are you guys saving buying maybe fake stuff?
Is it worth it?

Given you can get a set of genuine XTs for about that much money, why risk it for a few grams.
I have XT on my MTB and maybe XTR on my road bike and can’t tell a difference. I am not even sure that they are XTRs on the road bike without checking.
