The band, along with many other artists with EMI, were caught up in the sale of the company to the Universal Music Group, which lasted from 2011 to 2013. 'The band's previous studio album, The Division Bell, along with subsequent live and compilation album releases were previously published by EMI in Europe and Sony counterpart Columbia Records for the rest of the world. This is how it reached their hands (this is an extract from The Endless River post on wikipedia) The Pink Floyd catalog is currently with Warner. I know it is a little late to do anything if it turns out to be a fake and I also know it is the music that matters, but this has been gnawing my brain every time I play the record. Is there any way of checking this using the code on the sleeve or the bar code?

So, the nagging question in my head, is whether what I have is an original or not. Also, this record has been counterfeited a lot. Now, I had found out that there are Columbia US pressings, UK (EMI) pressings and some other country pressings like the Korean double LP, but not many. (like,on side two, from track 2 onwards there is a constant muffled but heavy 'woomph, whoomph' pulse till the end. There is also a bar code with '0 7464 - 64200 - 1 o' on the backside. It mentions 'columbia' on the back of the jacket along with the song titles. It has the same code on both sides of the record label with just 'side one' and 'side two' on the design. It has the code C 64200 on the spine of the jacket (image attached). This is a blue (marble) semi-transparent vinyl, similar to the attached image off google. I had purchased a blue vinyl of the 'Division Bell' album, a few months ago, off ebay at a rather steep price of about 50. I wonder if anyone with the same LP or adequate knowledge of this PF album vinyl can help me here.
