Default ECU Chipped or NOT????

I dont Know if you lot can tell me if my ecu has been chipped from these pictures.

I was just wondering rather then buy one. because i am off to power engineering on the 12th. i cant drive mine till 12th because of no insurance.

Not sure if u can tell by looking at it if its been chipped or not.

Here are the pictures just click on the link below.

Sorry camera phone not all that ha.
