The one I have has a plate on the side of the engine stating it's a gold seal.

On BMC a-series gold seal engines the original code was removed and the engine was given a new code beginning 8G, followed by a series of numbers relating to the rebore / regrind sizes and job number. Your engine has the code 10MA which relates to a standard 1098cc engine, not a gold seal unit.

As Louise says - it would have a spare part number - not the original number. it's only paint - don't get too excited about it!
