How to tell a recalled engine is a Series I or II engine?

I have the engine replaced in 2011. I called Mazda USA today trying to figure out whether the replaced engine is a Series I or II engine. The girl promised me if the engine was replaced on 2011, then what would be a most up-to-date engine. However from what she said I think she is not completely sure about what's series I and II.

If it's a series II engine in my car, would that be too good to be real LOL.

Plus is there any outside-looking clues I can use to tell whether the engine is a series I or II

you do know S1 and S2 engine is not interchangeable because of the difference?
so no sir, you still have a rebuilt S1

It isn't technically feasible for the dealership to swap applications, so if your RX-8 was a series I (2004 - 2008), then it received a Series I engine.
