Help identify this phone. It looks nothing like HTC One M8. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I purchased this phone used thinking it was an HTC One M8. My only interest in the phone was to install a Lineage based rom. It worked. And the phone claims to be an M8 in the "about" section in settings. But here's the strange part...
I received it without the top plastic faceplate. After using the phone for a while I decided to buy a replacement plate on ebay. I received it and realized it was a completely different shape and didn't fit the phone. This spurred my curiosity so I started researching the M8 and none of the photos I found matched the phone I have.
The back cover looks completely different. It doesn't detach and I can't access the battery. The front is a different shape. Even the holes on the back where the mic and speaker should be are different from the standard phone pics. The rear camera doesn't work so the only possibility I can think of is that someone took the guts out of an original and put them in a replacement shell.
Were there different versions of the M8? Can anyone identify this phone? Any idea why it varies so much from an M8?

I only know the HTC One (M8), for which we have an own device forum here that also contains links to some different OEM versions of the One (M8).
And here are some pictures on GSMArena where you could compare.
If you think you probably get more replies in the One (M8) forum let me know and we move this thread to there.
