That would leave us at:
(in general) pictures used to get a visual opinion 'first impression' of the item, although it should not be conclusive. (in my opinion, only).
Can be used to identify the dapur, pamor ...etc, though. As far as authenticity...it is difficult.

Again, all this is my opinion only, (except for the arrowed text, it's marto's).
