Well, I see no evidence these are pirated/illegal copies. If they're scans, they appear at least fairly clean ones. Furthermore, Amazon/Audible do NOT do WhisperSync to illegal copies, IMNSLE. Amazon, at least, appears confident these are legitimate.
But, of course, Jon, if you want to actually convince anyone here (or anywhere else) that they're bogus, then do as has been suggested. Contact either Amazon or the rights holder and ask! If you're unwilling to do that, then your arguments are specious and futile.
(I should note that I am quite aware of the concerns about doing anything to support those who sell someone else's copyrighted work as their own. Furthermore, as a person who earns a substantial portion of his daily bread from royalties on my own copyrighted work, I'm not without a skin in the game. )
