5-main bearing diesel engines

The starting engine nos for the 5 bearing diesel and petrol are as follows.
36100001A - Diesel
99100001A - Petrol

It would appear that mine is not a 5 bearing as my engine no starts with 36------, I was thrown of by the 2.3 badge, which mine does have.
Also I was able to distingish between the 2 by the picture posted mine does not hav the webing on the engine block.

That's interesting, I checked against this list which gave me:

361xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 8:1 CR 5-bearing
364xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 7:1 CR 5-bearing
366xxxxxx Series III diesel 2286cc 5-bearing
895xxxxxx Series III diesel 2286cc 3-bearing (fitted to 88 inch airportable for export)
901xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 8:1 CR 3-bearing
902xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 8:1 CR 3-bearing
903xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 8:1 CR 3-bearing
904xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 7:1 CR 3-bearing
906xxxxxx Series III diesel 2286cc 3-bearing
941xxxxxx Series III petrol 2625cc
951xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 3-bearing (fitted to 88 inch airportable)

Since my engine no started with 366, hence I thought it is a 5-main bearing.

Check page 45 part 7 of the Series 3 manual (electronic version available at start of this). Part 7 contains the 5 bearing suplement.
