Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys,
am about to purchase a 1999 NL Pajero but can't seem to find where the engine number is. Can anybody shed some light on this for me please?

Reggie:
According to the Haynes workshop manual, the engine number for the V6 engines is "stamped into the drivers side lower engine block where the transmission meets the engine".

I have seen mine once (a 2000 NL), and thought it was a funny place to put it, but looking from the top, there is nowhere else it could possibly go and be seen without totally dismantling the engine.
