People who are trying to circumvent the law will often use a partial known good number adding an extra digit or using a number outside the normal range of factory numbers.
Racers sometimes have two or more identical numbers on their race engines, but not "dodgey" numbers.
I have a set of XL cases stamped 57X - 7777. Those are clearly not factory numbers but not intended to fool anyone into thinking it's a legitimate engine VIN either.
But then I don't know everything, they might in fact be legitimate.
