Question Verify age of Mercruiser

A friend of mine just bought a pair of used 502 mag's.
Are there a reliable way to verify the age of these motors online?

If the engines included the ECMs, you can (with a scan tool) get an engine operating history from them.

Serial #'s are F812188 and F812273.

The seller claimed they are -98's, but I think they are older.

Sure there is not a '0' in front of the 'F's?

I looked twice, and could'nt find the"0", that confused me too.
According to the Mercruiserparts-site they seem to be -96's,
but I'm not sure, that's why I posted here.

Do they have serp or v-belts? I think by '98 all motors had the serp belt.
