DS4 JDM-055 won't calibrate, recognized as a JDM-040 #209

I recently received a new CUH-ZCT2E controller off Aliexpress (new old stock?) that seems genuine (unless if the Chinese have gone to such lengths that they are now making DS4 clones that copy the mainboard layout 1-to-1?). The mainboard is a JDM-055. However, it is recognized as a 040 by the web GUI:

Controller Info
Build Date            Mar 25 2016 01:50:22
HW Version            0100:6414
SW Version            0001:7007
Device Type           original
Board Model           JDM-040
Bluetooth Address     41:42:D0:CA:F1:B5

NVS status is unknown and lock/unlock commands do not work.

Calibration commands result in an error: "Your device might not be a genuine Sony controller. If it is not a clone then please report this issue."

I also have another genuine 040 controller, which I bought soon after the v2 launched, and the tool works fine with it and reads it like so:

Controller Info
Build Date            Jul 11 2016 12:33:38
HW Version            0100:641C
SW Version            0001:7009
Device Type           original
Board Model           JDM-040 
Bluetooth Address     40:1B:5F:F8:0F:E9

NVS can be locked or unlocked normally.

Curiously, the 055 controller's build date is BEFORE my old 040's, and the SW/HW versions are both lower.

If there's anything I can do to help debug, please let me know.
