How to tell which engine is in an L405?

Is there any way to see which engine is in an L405 without opening the bonnet? I've got an AB and there doesn't seem to be any visual sign whatsoever. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

It's the same with my 5.0 SC. Only the AB badge on the rear so no one can tell what engine it is. I like that since I like to be incognito MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I like that too but with the L322 you can spot a supercharged car by the visible exhausts... No such clues on the L405...! 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

You can tell the V6 diesel from the front brakes. No way of telling a V8 diesel AB from an S/C AB as far as I know (unless you hear it running ) or look inside and see if it has a button to turn off the start/stop.

you can tell the engine type from the VIN. The 7th character identifies the engine:-

A 204PT - 2.0 GTDI Petrol Engine
D 508PN - AJ V8 5.0 NA Petrol
E 508PS - AJ V8 5.0 SC Petrol
F 306DT - V6 3.0 Diesel without cDPF
H 448DT - V8 4.4 Diesel without cDPF
J 448DT - V8 4.4 Diesel with cDPF
K 306DT - V6 3.0 Diesel with cDPF
L 306DT - V6 3.0 Diesel Hybrid with cDPF
V 306PS - V6 3.0 SC Petrol
Z 306DT - V6 3.0 Diesel Hybrid without cDPF

You can see the VIN through the windscreen on the passenger side.
