Is the arm trans-orange or some different color? BL has listing for trans-orange
arm but none of them came with clear hand.

Where did the clear hand come from? BL has no listing for source and just a few
for sale.

It’s fake I believe. There’s a lot of those. Used to have several trans minifigures
until I noticed they were fake. It was a disappointing day lol. Although, it
could be from one of those minifigs that employees illegally make and sell lol

So the clear hands already available in stores may be fake? With no LEGO logo,
it's impossible to tell them apart.

sellers who got it elsewhere

Not so quick!

I used to have a bunch of those, made by TLG at least 25 years ago. 100% genuine,
came directly from a retired LEGO designer

Not every off-color is fake or a midnight job

Cheers,

Ole

Trans-orange arms appear in this Ninjago set:

 
Set No: 71770  Name: Zane's Golden Dragon Jet
* 
71770-1 (Inv) Zane's Golden Dragon Jet
231 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2022
Sets: NINJAGO: Crystalized

I don't know if they're the same ones you have. But the arms do exist.
Not sure about the hands. You'll have to do a lot of research to find out
if these are genuine or not ...

Cheers ...

Compare the arm peg to a known one. It looks like this one might have two slots
instead of one, which would mean it's not Lego.

I do have real Lego clear hands, and the molding seam isn't as prominent
as yours.
