There is no way to know if the engine is original to the car but with what you have you can confirm that it is the proper one for the car. Some Packards, such as Henney-Packard commercial chassis, have the engine number stamped on the same plate as the vehicle number but even then, not all had it. If your car still has the build sheet (sometimes tucked above the glove box or under the back seat) it may have the number but I’m not sure.
