You had me a little worried so I just checked service book and the little sticker with codes on it and it has an engine code of m9624-673 so om assuming that tallies up with
"2003–2004 3179 cc 260 PS (191 kW; 256 bhp) 310 N⋅m (230 lbf⋅ft) water-cooled DOHC 24-valve boxer flat-six (VarioCam) "M96.24" (Boxster S)"

So who knows what the deal is as my car "appears" to go against the norm. Is there any other concrete way of telling ?

Wonder if it was registered wrong M9624673 is a 2003 motor. Or a 2003 model delivered in 2002. The 10th number in the serial number is what denote the model year.

I guess I opened up a can of interesting worms for you Mr Gibbon! It sure appears you have a 2003. Overall not a bad thing. I love my 03 S.
