But the result is not the same as manually adding a link from Facebook itself. I've create a picture to illustrate that:

Is there a way to make ifttt post look exactly the same as manually added FB link? If not, can you recommend some other service that would do it "properly"?

There is no way to do this as the web app uses the Facebook API to communicate with Facebook. There could be a way to set up sending parameters to the sharer url but I wouldn't recommend it. The correct way to automate posts is via the API and as such they will not be seen as sent by a regular user.
