Weird CPU markings

Ok here's the deal, I bought 2 CPU's marked as P533 with 512Kb cache. Problem is that they are in P2 packaging. The markings are as follows:

Intel Confidential QA80ES
99020774-0080 MALAY
imc '98 8052PZ533512
note: the i,m, and c are trademark symbols

The cpu's have one half of the plastic shell removed ala P3 but the shell is marked PII. Also the die is pretty small on the chip, but it does have external cache chips marked as follows:

SEC KOREA 850
KM736V604AMT-36
TLJ049LE

Here's the test, did I get ripped off or are these really internal engineering CPU'S?

I haven't run them yet but I am told that there is no multiplier lock on these.

HELP!!!!

If they say it's a 533, it will run at 533. why ask why? You might want to call your vender if it bugs you that much. If the chip's case is cracked....thats not a good thing. I recieved one before and i sent it back. I will not keep any inferrior merchandice.

I am not at all concerned as to whether it will run or not, it does. Rather I am curious as to the lineage of the device.
