Engine Number??? - Updating engine details with the DVLA

So DVLA fun times here!

My V5C doesn't list a engine number for the engine that came out of my bus and i never recall seeing one.
The DVLA want me to tell them the replacements engine number.

it had a AV590 (9.6L) in it, and has been replaced with a AV760 (12.4L) so need to update them.

Can anyone tell me if the 760 would have a Engine number, I presume it would, and where would it be found before i start crawling around it!

My bus number (if any): RMF2771 (RCN701)

Yes, usually around the fuel pump area.

My bus number (if any): RML2532

The engine number on the couple I've just changed is stamped on the block on the left side, just below the top of the block where the 2 heads join.
