   Could be a spliced loom with an older engine in as a replacement. But like above its more than likely painted.
   
   Have a look at the inlet manifold and see what the port spacing is:
   
   00---00 - 90bhp Black/silvertop
   0-0-0-0 - 98bhp Silvertop

    black top rocker covers dont even look like that anyway, they have 3 pronounced square raised bits rather than tow bits and an indent where the cap fits

    That engine has also a 98bhp throttle body and air filter set up!
    3 Plug ecu.
    And the element type oil filter, and the dip-stick location!
    
    So its a 98 bhp engine!
