I've got a genuine CSW, so I am reliably informed by my local indie, but that is not reflected in the VIN.
He recons it was not uncommon for some landies to be Vin'd up but change final construction type towards the end of production, due to what was on the order books for example. It also says it was white, but again, no history or it ever being white.
As most people seem to say, the average Landie has an interesting history, but you may never be able to figure it our for sure.

you can usually tell if you know enough about what parts and styles of chassis, what year it was bult some are genuine which is usually refleced in vin, some are ringers some are rebuilds using various bits when it was legal to do so

Tell tale signs - full roof liner; split into 2 not one piece..
interior light that comes on when ya open the door..
Stereo Mount that is way too small for a modern stereo and is fitted up and underneath the top dash..
rear load liner, Genuine Land rover one..
Full front Bulkhead and floor pan covers that fit perfect with land rover foot mats.
Sun roof was originally County spec also..
Thats Practically all there is difference!
But ofcourse any of these or all can be quite easily put in.. but ya can generally tell when ones an original..
