Measure it (where the plates are would be easiest and not require removal), but if its stock, its 48mm.

the stock 48mm is usually cheap casting. Most aftermarket TBs have decent to nice finishes.

IIRC there's a larger machined area at the back side, you need to measure more where the blades are or the blades themselves. Looks stock to me though.

The numbers are just GM part numbers, so that tells you it was/is a stock throttle body and the only way it would be anything other than 48mm is if someone bored it out larger than 48.
