No, an S on the diff ID tag before the ratio or in between the gearing figures on a replacement drive means a LSD. anyone can stamp or paint an S on a diff!!!

What he said.
The big S is put on by BMW at the factory during production.
If it's still there after all this time thats impressive!

or perhaps somebody as refurbed it and done so to complete factory specs as i believe B7 did recently.

yes i agree, but it is much easier to stamp an S on the diff than to stamp the correctly sized S and postion it on the small tag.
yes you can change the tag
yes you can stamp a S on the case and paint it white
yes you can remove the rear cover and look for the clutch pack....
