Be a conversion I'd assume, silvertop motor and top mount intercooler wouldn't have been factory on an early one . Looks very clean tho. .

When did the ZD come out in GUs, was it from the start or just RD28 for a couple of years? . .

Yep, silver top motor. Definitely been swapped out. No problem though as long as it been done right and legally.
If you go look at it, have a look at how close the back of the exhaust manifold is to the firewall. You need to easily fit your hand in between the two. I see a lot of people on FB using the ZD crossmember which pulls the engine back 10mm. No issues when driving forward, but in reverse the engine hits the firewall and makes a hell of a noise. Been there before…

Seems top stuff. Have you checked it already? Is the price appropriate?
