Invalid, how so?

I looked at one now, and the oldest Received contained "by", "with" and "id" received-tokens. 5322 says all received-tokens are optional, 5321 says that SMTP servers MUST add a "from" received-token, but that Received wasn't written by an SMTP server and 5321 3.7.2 explicitly allows other software to be different. 2476 says nothing.

What am I overlooking?
