Has my engine had work done on it?

Hey, ive been cleaning this and that and pulling stuff apart to inspect and have got to the sump cover part, i pulled that off to clean the sludge and a good oil change and i commented to a mate that i could see all the way up thru the engine, he had a look under there and said my rover may of had work done to it in the past, i said how can you tell, he replied that theirs a dot on the piston arms, then he said, hang on theirs 2 dots, then he looked puzzled. Anyone know what hes on about? yellow dots mean replaced pistons?
 
Common practise to identify big end caps and piston rod match, dont know if that would have been done in the factory however.
