Based on 1282-17823 with theft-proof 503850 and motor #B26309A in my database, I'd conclude there is an excellent chance your motor is original to the car. Your vehicle number is the highest known 1282 known to me. Numbering began at 2001 so your car is the 16,211th (18211-2000) produced and Charlie Blackman has estimated from surviving vehicle numbers that 16,517 were produced in total so yours is very near the end. Also the highest 6-cylinder motor number known to me is B27262A. So it all seems to match together quite well.
