Or to put it another way, that's what they all say. If you've got problems with your car's performance then it won't be the badge on the side of the bits in it!

Had mine apart today and said exactly the same thing on the outside,plus 5.0 written in pen,its the inside bits that count,esp the chip that should say what car its suited for.

TVR used standard 14cux ecu but changed the chip. Most TVR ecus I have seen have somethihg written on the case usually in pen (pink in my case!) to tell you which car it is for.
