The ‘guts’ of the DK were NOT in the piano. I looked underneath and saw the slot for it. The bottoms of the keys were plainly visible.
When I said "guts," I was refering to solenoids, internal electric wires and circuits, etc. These items are only installed at the factory in the case of Disklavier.
I agree with Carol that your instrument appears to be the older DGA1XG. Here is info about it from the Yamaha website:

I’m wondering if I can get an updated control unit that includes both a floppy and CD drive – the dealer hinted that these are the new units being used.
Go cannot replace your control unit, but you can add a DSR1 and use it almost als though it is a replacement control unit. The DSR1 will connect to your old unit with MIDI cables. Although your old unit must be turned on for things to work, you can actually hide the old unit.
