Default 99 cobra recall question

hey guys, i have a 99 cobra and i was reading up about the recall and read somewhere that ford put a green or blue dot on the manifold behind the alternator when they fixed the recall problem. im pretty sure i found the dot on my car but i wanted to post a picture and ask you guys if this is it.

why dont you just go to a dealership and have them run your VIN to see if it has in fact been done, rather than trying to decipher random paint marks?

I think the fix consisted of a good tune and new/modified exhaust. Call Ford or Local dealership and run the VIN.

And intake problem that was making the air too turbulent or went in at strange angle. Also was supposed to fix a cat back issue. I was told they placed a sticker on engine??

I don't have a sticker on mine but called Ford and they told me that there are no recalls outstanding for my VIN. I think that the later end of the run left the factory with the correct setup. Mine is #3,500 (?) of 4,000 verts.
