I’ll add a few things I learned from Formula guys.
There’s a serial number on the back of the crown. Formula guys are super helpful and responsive on the Instagram chat, so you can ask them what MY is the fork you are planning to purchase. Mine is MK1 2020, no problem with anodising, CSU. You can even ask the for a part number for spares, so you’ll be able to buy them from EU online shops. MK2 2Air kit is different to MK1 and I assume that’s it’s not the only part that is different, so ask them first.
Also it should be noted, that 29 S and R models with 120-160 mm of travel are MK1, 29 Extended 170-180 mm are MK2 models.
And MK2 170 mm has the same axle to crown as 170 mm Lyrik, 1 cm higher than the MK1. But as you get a higher riding height, that 1 cm on the MK1 doesn’t make any difference in the real world.
