Why not just polish them out then get them re-stamped if you're that fussed.

On all the MOT's I've had (3) they've never checked engine number... they check frame number but that's about it...

Think the NC30 actually has a different engine to the one registered... Meh.

They're also not written down in the slot that it should be.
