As Simon13 says, need to see the engine. Registration date can be many months later than the build date.
You can't mistake the two engines though, M20 (belt) has an aluminium rocker cover in natural colour, spark plug leads and an ignition coil, while M50 (chain) has large plastic covers on top of the engine in black and silver, and no visible ignition components.
