Funny facts...

So I had some news from my mechanic.
Apparently my Box is one of the rare 2003 with dual row. LN sent a single row since it's a 2003.
But now they don't want to return it because for them 2003 has single row and not dual row and the package has been opened.
I went to my mechanic to see it by myself, and that's it 2003 can have some dual row.
By the way it is in perfect condition.
So I contacted LN by email but they never answered.

Out of interest, what is the serial number of your engine? The last 5 digits are sequential serial numbers, but the number preceding that (or letter in the case of engines assembled through 1999) would indicate the year of manufacture of your engine. As I understand it, it is the year of manufacture of the engine that is important and, especially if you have an early 2003 MY, it would not surprise me if your engine was manufactured in 2001. My 2000 model year base (October 1999 assembly) has an engine build year of 1998 (denoted by a Y prior to the last 5 numbers). If you have a '1' prior to the last 5 digits, then the engine was built in 2001, even though your car is 2003.

2003 Boxster engines are substantially different from previous years & I don't believe any 2003 engines came with dualrow IMSB. Maybe your car has a older replacement engine or engine case with the original heads.
