If there was a miss match of information at time of vinning, it would never have been vinned.
I think you are being picky, but for self satisfaction, ask the seller if he has the purchase papers for the engine...and carry them on the bike to show a cop if he asks, but why would ha ask in the first place? Unless you were doing something to cause him to suspect your were in breach of the law in some way.
Ok, but being to picky never did me any harm in the past,,,that I know of.

So anyway I took your advice and went back an had another yarn with the owner and I'll be picking up the bike on Wednesday.

Cheers.
