A Police Website Line-up, Who's The Imposter?

Ello, ello, think you are a bit of a sleuth? Missed your vocation as a Police officer? If you answered yes to either question in my interrogation, and you fancy participating in a virtual identification process where the Police are one of the suspects, then read on.

Do you think you can tell the difference between a real website and a copy which is a fake?

Yes?

Well, let's see how good you are, here's a test for you.

Which of the following screenshots is from the real Metropolitan Police Service web site, and which is the fake?

[Mug-shot 1]

OR

[Mug-shot 2]


A larger version of this screen-shot can be found here.

Leave your answers as a comment, or if you prefer, send me an e-mail instead. All will be revealed before the end of the week, fun huh?

Bribes, requests for clues, etc. will be ignored...unless they are too big to ignore ;-)

Extra kudos for anyone that can tell me where the other one is hosted, by who and for what purpose.

Evening all...

The second shot of the website appears to be real, and the first, the imposter. If you look at the contact e-mail addresses, only the second website lists a .uk address, the first lists two addresses (the Clarence C Vernon one appearing highly unusual, which is what made it stand out to me) and they both end in metpoliceuk-gov.com, a dead-ringer that this is incorrect.

Even a non-Brit (like myself) should be able to figure this one out if they look at the sites.
