Default f23a4: bootleg?

i own a 6th gen ex coupe with a 5 speed stick. My engine code says: f23a4. From my knowledge, ive known that f23a1 is the 150 hp version and the f23a4 is the 135 hp version found on DX models. What is the f23a4 i see on my ex?? please clarify this to me.

The F23A1 and F23A4 are the same 2.3L SOHC 16-valve VTEC engine. The F23A5 is the 2.3L SOHC 16-valve NON VTEC engine only found on the DX trim model. - Source Haynes Manual
