Default WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THING????????????

I need a 8D0 907 551 A ecu for my 2000 audi s4. I called a yard around here and found one, supposedly. The numbers on the case are all different than the factory ecu, but when hooked to vagcom it says it's connected to an 8D0 907 551 A??? Is this like an aftermarket ecu or something? Pictures included:

if it shows as 551 A on vagcom, its probably compatible.
