Kaysen Chestnut

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I was encouraged to join the community after chatting with a lovely lady on the phone from WCHA. I have recently purchased what I believe to be a Chestnut Pal from a lady in Vancouver BC. It was her fathers and barley used. I purchased it sight unseen and she mentioned that she had it verified by "someone" that it is indeed a Pal.
Once I picked it up I have noted 2 ribs look to have been replaced as they are clean with no patina, but the rest of them look to be in very good shape. The canvas is reddish / orange so not sure the paint is original or not and there is a nice Chestnut sticker on it as well. The seats look to be from a different wood and I have also noted the stern seat is angled down on the rearward facing side which I find odd.
Does anyone know where to find the serial number on this boat or if any exists at all? I will try and grab some photos in a few hours and post here.
Looking for any help / information to properly ID and document this canoe.
Thank you!
