Subject:Clutch, new or 'remanufactured'?

Okay vendors, here's your chance to shine!!!  I recently purchased a 'new'
Sachs clutch for the Vanagon.  Came in a Sachs box.  Disk is marked as follows...

Lining: Perfection - Made in USA
Hub: Sachs - Made in Germany
Paper stick on tag - Hencho en Mexico

Does this sound like a 'new' Sachs clutch disk?

BTW, the reason for the replacement is the 'Ray-loc' remanufactured clutch
disk self destructed after ~2500 miles due to a 'remanufactured' pressure
plate with .010 concavity across the face.  Stay away from Ray-loc brand
distributed by NAPA!

TIA
