2015 P85D Motor kW to different types?

So I noticed over the time of owning my Model S that there seemed to be two different answers to the 0-60 times. Finally I see on EVspecifications.com that there appears to be a 2015 P85D 165kW+350kW model (3.2 sec) and a 2015 P85D 193kW+375kW (3.1 sec). How can one tell which one they have? I do notice that my power meter on my heads up goes to 400kW which according to a few posts could be the indication of the 375kW setup. But figure I would ask if anyone knows of a VIN way or etc?
 
Be careful about the motor specifications. Those are maximum power inputs, it doesn'T mean that the car used 100% of the power of the motors. For example, this is what wikipedia had to say about it: The P85D was a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive vehicle. It had a governed top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h)[170] and it accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds (tested to 3.1 seconds), under "Insane Mode", with 1g of acceleration.[170][171] Total output reached 345 kW (463 hp) despite the two motors because they did not give their maximum power at the same time.[172]

The 0-60 note about it being posted as 3.2 but tested at 3.1 clears up a few things. What is interesting is back when Tesla on their site had 2015 models and the P90D was for sale (non L) they had it posted at 3.0. but yet that same site I referenced has it at 3.1. Guess I am just going to have to see if my unlocked replacement (90kwh) battery gives a little bit more juice. When it gets warmer I will see what my friends draggy says.
