If replaced under warranty there's no way it would be a 3.6. Porsche didn't do that. Like for like only.
Also the 3.6 has variocam plus, and I'm guessing that means a different brain...but I could be wrong.
The big non-replaceable IMS bearing came along in 2005. In fact the early 997 cars (2005) still shipped with the small bearing. It wasn't until 2006 that they switched over.
It was different for the replacement engines though. My 2002 car had a new engine installed in 2005 and it's a big bearing motor.
