Well, the M1go reissues will say "M1go" somewhere along with having the Bullmark stamp. I'm not sure if they're the only "official" Bullmark reissue company, or not.

There is no rel difference between the vintage and reissue stamps because they are made from the same molds or pulled from original toys. Bandai/B-Club prints Bandai in black ink on the feet, however, I think the 1992 reissues of Godzilla and Ultraman series toys were marked only with a sticker. Some of those Ultraman series paint schemes are very close to the originals. The Saito books show those reissues next to the originals. Marusan has used a variety of stamps over the years, but I don't know of anybody reissuingMarusans recently.

Mark K is exactly right. Early B-Club reissues merely had stickers. After the first reissues they began stamping one of the feet with black ink that said 'copy' or 'reproduction' in katakana. More recently they've begun marking their reproductions 'Popy' (once again, in black ink on one of the feet) as this is the name name that the B-Club reissue line goes under these days. The name has nothing to do with the vintage company Popy by the way.
