Ok, as it is now, all bets are off if you don't buy genuine from Saab alone.
It is many different sources now and I have stopped keeping track since all have different names and shape of them, sorry.
The latest ones I have received are black (not grey, not bronze) with loose washer and the picture from my source show an old style without loose washer. So they can't even keep track of what they sell versus the picture.
Those black ones though needed oil when installing whereas the genuine ones should not need any extra lubrication due to the coating they have.
I am reasonable sure though that the ones you have are the newer style and when you pull one out of your engine (if below the VIN) you will notice the difference in color between the grey and bronze.
But as I said, it is no use anymore to beat this topic unless you buy genuine from Saab.
