How to ID a real DP 935

I believe I may have found one randomly yesterday while doing some errands. I'm not sure if it's for sale or not, but you never with some people believing everything has a price.

With that said.

Are there any identifying marks, places I should look, or anything that stands out to make it a real DP 935 compared to someone who bought the body work and did the conversion themselves?

Original documentation from DP at the time of the build. These were built to customer specs, so the options will very.
Or one of the imported ones from a U.S. Porsche dealer,again with paperwork.
Photos would be nice!

DP Motorsports also provided its own Vin which should be under the front deck in the frame.

I'm not sure if DP did their own i.d. number at the beginning.
Here's a video of DP's being converted in Sweden:

I'm in Tampa/St Pete, no idea about this one in Miami.

But the Porsche I glimpsed and later went to see the next day was not a DP935. It was just... A mess of random body pieces with wheels that had the DP logo on them and it was NA.

I thought I would be shot at this shop when I said "Are you serious?" when the guy who owns/runs it said he would take eight grand for it.
