NB Is the number plate on the transmission the VIN of the car it was installed in?

Hi guys. I hope this is the right forum.
I recently purchased a six speed transmission.
It was supposedly a 99 Special Edition with 55k miles on it.
When I got it home, upon close inspection, it seemed to me that a transmission with only 55k should not have a rubber shifter boot [the little one underneath the big one] that was worn with tears in it.
So. It got me thinking. Is there really only 55k on it?
I then discovered what appeared to be a vin label on the body of the transmission. Googled it. It turned up as a wrecked 2000 Miata Special Edition in a parts yard with 113,950 miles on it!
So. Before I say anthing to the seller I need to confirm something from some of you guys with experience.
Is the Number Plate on the transmission, that looks just like a VIN number plate indicate the VIN number of the car into which the transmission was initially installed.
Thanks in advance
