Might be real, but I find two things suspicious. The stenciling for Robben and for Ford are different fonts, and faded differently. Like they were done at different times. The Robben part looks added on. Like some Ford had the amp and someone added "Robben".

The other is the Celestion 65 in there. Don't know anything about his amp or what it originally came with, but my understanding is that the 65 was something specifically made for Marshall and Robben didn't latch onto them until he got curious about what was inside the Marshall cabs he was using and eventually got some more to put in the tweed Dumble cab. Which would probably radically post date his using some other oddball amp.
