But if the engine was a rebuild, the numbers wouldn't match the documents. In the US, engines weren't rebuilt in the US but swapped and the failed engine sent to Porsche Germany "for analysis and salvage/rebuild". They used as many parts from the failed engine as they could and apparently in your case may have just swapped the short block.

Do UK dealers have any records that would help you determine when the swap was done? From the hand stamp, I'll bet it was early in the car's life.

As to what IMS it has, anyone's guess until you drop the trans for some reason and look at the IMS cover.
