Motor quiz: 318 or 340?

Ok, lookin gat a car on ebay.....the seller says the engine is a 340, original to the car....the VIN they sent me says its a 318 car.

So, one of three things:

-Lying about the "orginal" thing
- they were told it was original when THEY bought it and do feel it is an original 340....but how coudl you not know if it is a 318 or 340 if you are redoing it as they say they are?
- the VIN decoder on this is wrong

My guess is its NOT the third thing...

so....

Here is a quiz that may not even be doable/answerable: What engine is this:


Looks like "someone" repainted it at some point.....I was told the exh manifolds look to be 318 manifolds....
