Default Anyone seen this on a chip before?

Pulled my chip off my ecu to try my mates 195 superchip today and put the 2 side by side, obviously theres no visual difference but mine had a sticker stuck on that my mates didnt, the chip was in the car when i bought it so am unsure if its a 195 or 165 or reprogrammed to a 195 etc etc

can anyone shed any light?
could i ring/email superchips to find out?
and if its a 165 can i get it reprogrammed to 195 spec? as the hunt for a 195 chip is doing my head in

Many thanks Adam

Don't think so as it's a burn once ROM chip iirc not an EPROM chip. I await to be corrected by those with more knowledge on the subject though

These Superchips are rewriteable. I had mine redone twice by RGS Motorsport in Wellingborough. It started life as a non cat DOHC, then a non cat 2.9 then a cat DOHC.
