From what I've found, they're KOs of the old Kabaya Choco kits seen here:

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Choco

As I understand it, all legit Choco packages either have "Kabaya" or "Takara" marked on them somewhere.  According to someone I spoke with at BBTS, they could find no identifying manufacturer markings on these packages and couldn't guarantee that they were authentic Takara product.

There is a ton of KO Kabaya kits out there...finding a legit one is pretty tricky anymore.  Sellers on eBay will call it a "Chinese variant" or "reissue" or something like that. 

Like this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRANSFORMERS-G1-VICTORY-LANDCROSS-WING-MODEL-KIT-CHINA-/370620613262?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item564ab5c28e

Fake.  Kits were only released in certain colors, and if the colors on the one you're looking at doesn't match up, it's a KO.  :( 

That's why the ones that are legit are super-expensive.
