I fitted a Blob WRX ECU from a PPP car to my wagon, it didn't have anything on the casing to say it had a Prodrive map on it. All I had was the Prodrive certificate that came with it and the corresponding key chip reader and immobiliser box. It was only until I had fitted it and checked that the boost pressure maxed at 1.3bar (up from 1bar standard), as well as the fact that it drove like a factory map (i.e. no flat spots) but with more power, that I was confident it was genuine.
I don't know how the PPP kits were supplied to the dealers for fitting, but if they just uploaded the ECUTek map via the OBD port then I can't see them lifting the carpet, removing the kick plate and putting a PPP sticker on the ECU. It would be a different matter if they physically fitted a replacement ECU with the Prodrive map on though, then you might see a sticker.
PS early bug (and Classic) Prodrive ECUs I believe, had a piggy back ECUTek board installed to the main board inside the casing, so you might see a sticker in that case.
