Beneteau 381 Clipper or not

Quick question. My friend just got a Beneteau 381, but the hull only says Beneteau 381 without any Oceanis or Clipper badge. I know that the Clipper trim had stuff like in-mast furling, better navigation gear, and nicer interiors on boats made between 1995–2008.

His boat has a 3-cabin 1-head setup. I'm wondering if anyone else has a 381 without a badge and what Clipper features you have? Also did your HIN or paperwork help clear this up?
 
The truth is that not all of them were badged consistently, even if they came with the clipper features. My friend's 2001 381 doesn't say clipper anywhere on the hull either, but it's got the in mast furling, upgraded nav, and teak touches inside so basically the clipper package.
The HIN probably won't help much, but the original paperwork or build sheet might list the trim or options package
