Default 103 swap

I'm looking to buy a used 2010 electriglide that the used bike dealership claims to have a 103 in the bike....is there any way to distinguish if it really is a 103? I don't wanna buy a 96ci with a 103 air filter cover.

Look to see if there are electronic compression release wires coming up from the center of the rocker covers.
96"s did not come equipped with those.

Does the VIN match the motor #?
