Hello there,
A picture of the complete bike would be rather helpful, but if it is a 2006 EC200 you have 45mm Marzocchi Shiver forks. One of your images suggest so, as I can see the top of one fork leg. You will need bushings and seals (and of course fork oil) to rebuild your forks. My other guess is that a previous owner has upgraded it to later plastics, as the sticker kit seems to be from a later model.

Yup, it has gone though the transformation. Gasgas sold "transformation kits", doing just that, transforming the bike to look like it was a newer model. I did the same to mine, a 2006 EC200 as yours. Your sticker kit is the 2012 Six Days replica.
Your rear shock is most likely an Ohlins, as these were supplied as OEM. Your fork has some "WP" stickers on it, but I would still vote for a 45mm Marzocchi. Please measure the inner legs to be sure, they should be 45mm. And black. Is your brake caliper still the OEM Nissin?

If you don't have vernier calipers cut some stiff cardboard progressively bigger till a slot fits the forks without deflecting. Measure that with a ruler.
