Which one is correct ?

The block 000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943 is indeed the genesis block of the testnet.

blockr.io appears to have a bug.

The do not report any "previous block" hash or link from the second block (height 1).
http://blockr.io/block/info/1

Therefore, they don't appear to have any valid information about the genesis block at all.
