Are these real or faked blocks? Can XTnodes now distinguish between both?
Probably fake. Nobody wants to be the first to bother with the risky shoehorning of XT's eccentricities into their working existing infrastructure.
It's the Toomim Bros apparently.

I once considered using their hosting services. No longer.
Apparently the blocks weren't tagged as BIP101, as per the following post on that thread. Not sure what to believe anymore, and still not sure if XTnodes can identify legit information from faked information. Anyways, 7 blocks is definitely not an upsurge, so even if it's real support, it's not that much.
But look like its not, even if it found a 8th block, allegedly. Overall average is now dropping because the last 1000 is moving on and the information doesn't seem very substantiated anyways.
Block train says the version report is correct;

But what does that even mean.
Nothing really, with numbers this small. Too bad miners that support the BIP are only showing that on their coinbase and aren't really mining blocks to support their intentions. I was expecting people who want a change and are able to push a change to really back up their sayings.
Many would support BIP100 but afaik its still just on a draft stage. So there's no actual wallet software with BIP100 included. But BIP100 itself has some problems and vulnerability, like allowing people that mine to down vote the block size with a relatively big portion of the hash. "21%"
So i'd say it need some improvement as well before people start voting it.
All in all its fine, we have the time, its not like we're at the TX limit yet.
