The repros were around persistently (and being auctioned) still in the late 90s. Apart from anything else, they just looked far too new. Rather alarming that they were proper lithos. True or not, there were stories about the original plates being rediscovered enabling them to be printed.
I personally only ever saw one genuine vintage original, and it was like night and day, with the typical aging (as others have referred to) of French paper from that time, especially along the folds. However, you do occasionally come across even French white paper from that period that hasn¹t aged that much - very recently saw a French Grande Le Conformiste where this was the case, although that did have some ink transfer marks from the black where it had been folded.
