New guy here with a quick question....

I just picked up this '79 Elsinore Hillclimber with RD350 engine.

I am confused about the front forks? Are these just stock CR250 forks with Mugen Decals?? or are these indeed Mugens? Ive never owned an early CR before so I dont know what the standard front end is supposed to look like??

Here are a couple of pics of the fork lowers.

They look consistent with stock forks from the 1978 model. It is not a 1978 hub, probably a 1982 or 1983. Need to see a photo of the brake arm.
