Last minute question before I buy a 16710T tomorrow

Hello,

I have a question about the Rolex GMT Master 2 Pepsi (reference 16710 T, year 2005, LC888, Stick Dial). The certificate is still the old paper format.

I would like to buy the above-mentioned watch tomorrow and have now come across a detail that has confused me.
On the hangtag which comes with the watch the serial number (D series) is displayed and the reference 16710LN.
The „LN“ part caused the confusion for me.

After doing some research, I saw that "LN" normally stands for Lunette Noir (black bezel).
This would not fit the Pepsi bezel.

However, the commercial seller, who seems very trustworthy overall, says that the additional abbreviations were only introduced for watches produced from 2006 onwards.
Before that, all watches were treated as black bezel insert on delivery.
The delivering AD or buyer could then decide whether to use black, Coke or Pepsi.
The watch was supposedly delivered as Pepsi by the Rolex AD at the time.

I think it would be great if all parts of the watch were as originally delivered and were not changed later.
Does the seller's description above make sense?
Is it possible that the hangtag states 16710LN although the watch has been sold as a Pepsi?

I actually found another dealer online whose pictures also show the "LN" on the hangtag - despite they also stating a 100% factory original Pepsi bezel. Also LC888 and sold in 2005.
