This website has a copy of the OKH Barbarossa deployment directive dated January 31, 1941:
https://nakanune.rusarchives.ru/en/node/370
But there is no mention of 12th Army, which was supposed to strike out of northern Romania. Hitler only cancelled the participation of 12th Army in March 1941.
So is this a copy of the actual Barbarossa deployment directive from January 1941, or a fake?
Copy of original OKH Barbarossa deployment directive?

That's the text of the directive with changes introduced between 31.01 and 21.06 (not clear when exactly). That is obvious when you look at the original appendix to war diary of the Army Group South (from NARA T311 R260):
You can see that the original variant did mentioned the 12 Army.
