Help with Burberry trench authenticity

Im after some help from you ladies (or blokes if you can help) trying to verify the authenticity of a coat my girlfriend bought this afternoon.
We went to Mary Portas' charity shop for Save the Childern in Edinburgh today and, as you may know if you've been, there is a rail of clothing donated by Grazia. We found a Burberry trench coat and as it was dirt cheap really my girlfriend bought it. However we are now having a few concerns about whether it is fake or not so I've uploaded a few pictures to see if you could help. These include the label which says 'Burberrys' which I am suspicious about, and the lining (the check doesnt match at the seams, is this only a problem in linings or only handbags etc?). Ive also got photos of the buttons and buckles etc but didn't want to drown you in images!
If you could give your opinion that would be great. We have our doubts but the fact that it was supposedely donated by Grazia suggests that it SHOULD be genuine.
Thanks in advance.

nothing wrong with it, it's just old. Sorry, 'vintage'

I have the exact same one in my closet. Always wished it was black though.

No I wasn't planning on returning it to a charity shop. Maybe emailing Grazia or something to voice my gripe as since it is a very high profile shop as far as charity shops go then it's not on really. So the general view is that it's legit?
