Not officially, but Rennlist has a thread that seems to identify the switch over by VIN from querying owners. Edit not by VIN, but by engine number. I'm searching for the thread... here it is:
http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...on-date-3.html
basically claims Feb 25th build data was the switch over.

You can also look at the class action lawsuit info and see if your VIN is in it:
