I found this two in market help me to find out original one, also tell me to check visually that which one is original?

The right one with the scrambled leads is marked with an extremely ugly font never used by STMicroelectronics.

You can also compare the logo with the one on our website.

The one on the left looks like genuine, but to be 100% sure you need the information on the label on the box / roll.

The right one with bent leads is definitely a fake.
