Seems the seller is hedging his bets by stating he "believes" the back and sides are Brazilian.
I sent the seller a note, telling him what I believe. Maybe you guys could do the same.

It's back! The item was re-listed it again as EIR, then pulled it, and then re-listed it again for the 3rd time.

I just sent an email to that seller. I used to be a seller on Ebay with over 5000 feedbacks, and over 8000 sales.
I suggested they change their listing so as not to miss lead potential buyers.
Amazing that they are relisting this the same way.
