There is a metal tag on the port/aft corner of the block. It will have the model number and the 12 digit SN for the engine. The SP just indicates Single prop or DP = DuoProp.
If the engine is red, it's most likely a 432A or B.

You will find the model and serial number on a plate on the upper gear box as shown in the picture.
