The SMP was the latest version from the BP factory, which was a little surprising. The tells for this model are the protruding pearl (best way to tell any Omega rep, with exception of the Noob CrPOs) and the added thickness of the case. The SMP bezel is also an easy tell as the numbers are white and engraved, when the gen numbers are silver and more flush with the blue bezel. Blue colour is slightly off aswell.

The railmaster did have happy feet but this is actually correct. Happy feet is only a tell on metal applied Omega logos. Any printed/painted logos (earlier SMPs for example) have happy feet. Not an error. Railmaster is easy to tell by looking at that god awful movement with blue screws
