The best you can really do is to run Mazda's VIN against the rest of the car. Speaking from the RX-2s, you can check the VIN against the door dag (riveted into the driver's door jamb) and firewall. You can also look to see if the trunk is raised to make room for a taller tank (thirsty rotary) and if the beaver panel is original (most RX-2s had 4 round taillights vs the trapezoidal cutout for the Capella, so you can check the sheetmetal).
You can check to see that your RX-3 wasn't originally an 808, if it matters to you, but that's about it. If you're looking for a vehicle history, then your only savior will be some time under the car and a magnet in your pocket.
