On the SBC body the first three numbers in the row closest to you is the Bosch date code. If the date is after 05 it's been changed. The software on the yellow label is probably 05.

Just been to see the car, it's the original pump. Any idea, roughly at what mileage the original pumps need replacing at. There's a battery protection warning message displayed, would that be because it's been sitting in the garage for a few months?

At 172,000 miles and almost 15 years, my SBC reads out on the diagnostic system as having approximately 20% life remaining. The pressure reservoir is at the minimum value of 72 Bar; if it drops lower and triggers the alert on the instrument cluster, I'll take the car into the dealer and have the pressure reservoir replaced.
