if you remove the cover there should be one where the ecu pins are.

The serial number on the case is just the serial number of where the case came from. If you unscrew the case the real number on the PCB is shown at the top by the connectors.

because it really doesn't matter when you have it chipped, since they are all the same in the end. you can make a non-vtec ecu a vtec ecu, an automatic ecu into a manual, etc.

Because when you have it socketted and chipped the only thing you need to know about it is what EMS is on it. So no. It matters absolutely not one iota. It's just unnecessary extra info. If the person you're selling it is knowledgeable they should know that.

The only other thing that might be of interest is the details of the current map currently programmed onto the chip/EMS.
