Fake numbers are rarely stamped in the wrong place, so yours being stamped in the right place does not add much information. Your 2 avenues for tracking down how the bike is as it is currently, a proper search on the factory records and the official paperwork going back to the first registration if possible. If the bike is from the US then the official title records probably no longer exist so you are left with factory records.I have an early sequence numbered 72 Commando Combat but with later 72 features on the crankcases, the dating info from the NOC shows it was actually late build 72 on the factory records so it matches the features, so the early number was for some reason missed out or used but then either recycled or rebuilt with new cases before it left the factory. Without the NOC build date matching the features it would look like a restamped set of cases.
