I dont see very well on the pictures but there is already 5 or 6 elements pointing towards fake.
The blade spine does not seem to be straight.
The logo are weird.
The end of the ricasso at the finger choil is not like any pm2 I've seen.
I don't know about older models but my clip-side liner has 2 holes for weight.
The body screws have reallt small heads, they should have a T8 slot and wide flat head.
Finally : the blade tang, especially the part that hits the stop pin does not have the shape we've seen in every pm2.
Sorry man

Looks real fake, hardware looks wrong, grind lines, jimping, etc, etc.

I agree, sorry. This appears to be a fake (as I'm looking at my Maxamet PM2)

Also- no notches in liners, and the non-lock side should have more another skeletonized cutout.

Oh yeah, missed that ! Every PM2 has a notch in the liners (except for the Cruwear Micarta that is in standard production, it's a different construction).
Here's a bad picture of it, it's on both sides :
