It is impossible to determine provenance from a photo alone. That said, nothing about the Power Adapter in your photo, or its markings, suggest that the Power Adapter is anything less than a genuine Apple Power Adapter.
That said, consider that a determined counterfeiter will likely have copied and visually duplicated the item and its packaging exactly - including any markings thereon.
If purchased directly from Apple or an Apple Authorised Retailer, insofar as it is possible to be certain, you will have the genuine article. If purchased from an independent or online retailer, you don't have the same assurance of provenance...

If you purchased the power adapter from an authorized Apple dealer, it is original.
Otherwise, it is not possible to say whether the adapter is authentic or not.
