Yeah - that can cause serious problems.
There was a rumor on the super Cub forum that an IA decided a data plate was not authentic. I forget the cost to rectify that, but it was over a grand.
I would listen to what Eddie is saying he is giving you good info.
Several years ago I took my PA12 in for an annual, and the AI didn't like the data plate. He said it was a duplicate and would not annual the aircraft without getting the FAA involved. Three months and around 5000 bucks later I finally got the approval to replace the Data Tag. If I were you I would look really hard for that Data plate.
