"le fournisseur assure la bonne realisation des marquages contre-façon sur les pieces que xxx precisera". In the context, "counterfeit" or "fake" makes no sense. Robert is silent on any distinction between versions with, or without hyphen. Any ideas?

anti-counterfeit
I think that this must be anti-counterfeit markings.
e.g. "The small markings made by the Photoscribe laser systems cannot be seen or ... to apply the anti-counterfeit technology to packaging using flexographic or ..."

Note from asker:
| I hadn't thought of counter-counterfeit! Sounds feasible, though. If only authors could be clearer..... |

counterfeit
C'est la seule traduction basée sur le texte que vous nous donnez. Si celà ne fait pas de sense, peut-être que l'auteur du texte original a fait une erreur sur le choix du mot ?
Note from asker:
| Eh bien, possiblement. Contre-face makes more sense, since you wouldn't want to put a label on the visible side. Another spell-check triumph?? |

against copies / imitations
counterfeits are imitations with the intention to defraud. Imitations do not look 100% like the original and are meant to make a cheaper product available. They want a specific "mark" to be well visible and distinctive to draw attention that the product is the original and not an imitation or a copy.

countermarks
If the supplier modifies parts made by another supplier, and marked accordingly, maybe he countermarks them with his own mark.
