If you bought them both from MAC counters or stores, they are not fake.
I have a lot of brushes and the countries of origin and "branding" are different on a lot of them. I don't really think you will be able to find the "right" anwer as to which mark/country is correct. They produce them in several countries, within several different plants, so there will be differences.

a little off topic..
This is weird but it works for me, if you have a good sense of smell.I ended up buying a fake 187 brush from ebay and i compared it to my real mac 187 that i bought from the counters years before. you can tell if it fakes by the glitter in the paint for the brushes. but the main thing is the smell of the paint on the handle. its very distinctive on all real mac brushes it smells the same and never changed for the past 5 years that i been using mac. and compare that smell to a fake brush you bought on ebay. i hope that helps.. its crazy weird but it works my bf even could tell by the smell.
