This is non authentic

Hi! I'm new to this so I was wondering if you could help me authenticate this bag that I've had for a couple of years.
I tried looking as much here for any tell-tale signs, but it looks like there have been so many nuances in authenticity that I just got even more confused the more I read. LOL
Anyway, this bag seems to look good to me:
(1) The bales look okay to my untrained eye.
(2) The mirror is definitely not like the plastic ones you find in fakes.
(3) This seems to have the proper Lampo zippers.
(4) It has the black stitching above the tag, whereas the other stitches correspond to the color of the bag.
(5) The zipper runs well, unlike the difficult ones that could be found in fakes.
(6) All other elements seem to be consistent with what I have been seeing as authentic, but that's probably just me as a noob.
Here is where my problems are:
(1) I have seen different iterations of the interior tags so I don't know if this is consistent with what should be its tag
(2) The tag in this shows BALENCIAGA on top, and then .PARIS at the bottom. I have seen some similar photos online, including at YoogisCloset, so I think this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
(3) At the back side of the tag, it shows 281770 1202 H and then the last six digits. I have seen 281770 and 1202 in other online photos as well. Is 281770 for the bag model, and 1202 the bag color? If so, the 1202 ones I have seen online look a little darker than my bag. My bag is gray rather than dark gray.
(4) Also, it shows MADE IN ITALY and beneath it, FABRIQUE EN ITALIE. While I have also seen similar tags here, my issue really is that I cannot seem to see the letter 'I' in 'FABRIQUE' and the spacing between "FABRQUE' and 'EN' is a little close such that it seems to almost read as 'FABR QUEEN ITALIE' to me. I have included a photo of that here.
Note: I stuffed the bag with usual contents for purposes of taking these pics, so that it doesn't collapse and you can see the details.

Hoping to get your expert help on this!
