Nothing tells you what you want to know that is stamped on or fastened to the car.

The only way to tell, and even then isn't 100% accurate is to order the birth certificate.

There are many clues to a grafted in top, there are many discussions on here what the tell tale signs are and where to look. Few grafts are 100% perfect but some are nearly so.
