Hi, Only Indian, Australian & South African WW2 campaign medals were officially engraved or stamped. Other recipients could get them engraved at there own cost at places like Boots the chemist who offered this service ( known by collectors as Boots medals) most ex servicemen didn't bother. Although hard to see detail in your photograph I would say that the medal & stamped inscription look original to me though the ribbon is on back to front. Regards Paul.
