from what I have read and seen it is not a metal stamp, it is a round sticker with a serial number for your motor.
you can use that to get the model on Yamahas site

The model identity is on a decal that is attached to the clamp bracket. On that same decal is what Yamaha calls the primary ID. PID.

If the decal on the clamp bracket is gone then there is another decal on the block that provides the serial number of the motor. That decal is usually in the vicinity of the starter motor. With that serial number one might can get to the model identity and the PID.

If the block has been replaced the round decal will no longer be there.
