Blown Engine 550 Spyder AE

The incident occured at 10,100 miles and 10 days before the warranty expires. I was in traffic, steady speed about 2200 rpm. It sounded like I ran over in bag of coke cans but there was nothing in the road. The motor died instantly. Heavy oil leak under the car. Dealer service rep says it's going to need a new motor, they're not certain what happened and it'll take a while. The dealer has loaned me a Cayman S and is taking good care of me so far...
I am concerned that I don't know how to confirm the replacement engine is the correct 264 HP version specific to the 550. If anyone knows how to tell if it's the right engine I'd really like to know.
