Is there a number stamped on the flat plate on the front face at the top of the block, just under spark plug number 3? It should start DX, EX, EG, FR or whatever. That code will then tell you what engine you have.

Could look at your log book, if no one has changed the engine and not told the DVLA should be right.
Is there a lable in the boot with engine No. Paint colour etc?
Or clean the flat plate on the engine with a bit a wet/dry or sand paper the engine number is stamped in the block so should not rub off.
