This one is actually a painted Bronze statue owned by a fan (with whom I've had the pleasure of speaking). The sculpt is an SWS original, not a recast, and was sculpted and made by them. The Chinese seller used the photos to promote his fakes, which was not the same product as what you got.
Chicago dinosaur art collector John Lanzendorf also owns one:

This one is a recast, however. The sculpt is noticeably different from the original maquette (same maquette the bronzed one is cast from), especially in the tail which is more wavy than the original. The paint scheme is also rather inaccurate to the original maquettes SWS produced. This one is sold by the same guy that did a JP/// Raptor statuette a while back, which was also a recast of the JP/// Raptor maquette. That one included a more movie-based paint scheme and quills. The original SWS maquette (which, itself was retooled from the TLW Raptor maquette sculpt) did not have quills because of it's origin.
I never posted the images, I simply was discussing their content. If you want somebody to be pissy at go yell at triceratops for posting it.
