There is a fake Balwin builders plate purporting to be off D&RGW #482 on Ebay now. The construction number on the front matches #482, but the Baldwin Classification numbers on the back are for a standard gauge 4-4-0.
This is a common mistake with fake plates. People copy the front correctly but then if they do not know the Baldwin Classifcation system they get the numbers on the back wrong.

Here is the link:
