Hasn't widespread counterfeiting of Oakleys been going on for decades?
I think the weight difference comes from the lens, If you told me the frames I have here were genuine frogskin blanks I wouldn't argue with you, though I notice there is a little star stamp near the right hand hinge.Of course, but not to the level of quality where you legitimately can't tell the difference between products at times. I've had various pairs over the years from seized counterfeit lots where if I had purchased through an authorized retailer nobody would be questioning in. In fact that raises the point that a lot of counterfeit products have made their way into the legitimate supply chain over the last number of years.
Before it was Asian factories trying to copy a product made in the States, the quality usually was terrible. They had no moulds, no access to the legitimate materials. Now they've got it all, quite often the counterfeit products are made in the same factory stuff is produced officially for Oakley.

Is the word Oakley meant to be raised on the frames?
