Moto Laverda Paperwork

Having bought myself a 1980 Jota just recently, I’ve found myself in the mirky world of trying to ascertain if I have a Jota or a lookalikey.
In the paper work I got with the bike are a couple of sheets of paper that look to be a copy of some paperwork from the factory to Slater Bros.
Someone has highlighted my bike frame/engine no. 6914 and it says Jota on it.
Is this proof or am I off down a rabbit hole with this?

The documents state that it was imported new by Slaters and sold by Lloyd Bros (as a then Laverda dealer) and is a Jota - therefore it's a Jota.
What has happened to it since and whether it still has 4C cams etc etc remains to be seen, but the evidence is there that it was a Jota when it was imported and registered new.
 
Being destined for the UK market, one can presume that it's full Jota spec.
But one must never presume anything, particularly with a small Italian factory.
It could be a Swiss model that passed through unnoticed.
