How to tell if IMS bearing replaced?

I am looking to purchase a 2000 Boxster with 110k miles. The seller just acquired the car from the original owner and is perhaps just trying to flip the car. He does not know if the IMS bearing has been replaced. Is there any way to know if it has? He does not have any maintenance records. The car has a stage 3 clutch so I feel like IMS may have been replaced along with the clutch. No way to know for sure. There are no LN engineering stickers under the trunk or front trunk lid. That is the only way I know to check if the IMS upgrade was done. The carfax service history doesn't mention IMS bearing replacement, but does show a lot of other maintenance was done indicating the car was well taken care of by the original owner.

Is there any other way of knowing if the IMS has been replaced?

Thanks in advance
