It’s like a Marzocchi 350 or some shit from like 11 years ago which is why it looks like a Suntour Durolux. Fox bought Marzocchi from Tenneco in Q4 2015 and not sure when they brought Marzocchi back, but this is the Tenneco garbage where they thought everything that made Marzocchi what it was from the wild graphics, M-arch, and anything distinctive was unwanted by the market, so they made those graphics that looked like they took two minutes to design with “Marzocchi suspension products” and more or less seemed to just have a generic design inspired by Suntour.
The easiest path, tbh, is to treat it like a little ID checklist instead of trying to match photos first. I had an older fork that looked like three different models until I checked the underside of the crown, the back of the lowers, and the dropout area for tiny stamped numbers. Measure stanchion diameter, note wheel size, axle type, brake mount, and whether it has air or coil preload. Those details narrow Marzocchi models way faster than decals, since stickers get swapped or peeled off. If there is a serial number, Marzocchi support or an old catalog scan can usually get you closer.

How do they ride?
This was fun. Looks like a 2015 350 Plus CR:
