Looks from the one picture you got rear tail light guards. I would guess from everything else you got what was in the Mojave package except the lizard seats and hood decal. Package was a built up sport S

I got to thinking about compnine.com I put that up before also but dont think your vin would show anything yet as it is too new. You really might consider getting a build sheet requested from Jeep if the dealer tries to give you issues. But yes, you do not have a "legit" mojave, you have a "Mohaveclone", cheap one at that. you definately have a Frankenstien of a Jeep for sure.
-Sahara color match fenders
-Sahara side steps
-Special edition/upgrade wheels
-Rubicon issue BFG muddterrains
-Rubicon shocks (this is very interesting, did the dealer just paint them? haha)
-Sport axels (no electronic locker disconnect from the pics provided)
-Sport upgraded seats
-No Mohave 3 piece color match hard top (standard with mojave)
-Mohave/special edition bumper covers
random....very very random

It's not unusual for the dealer to take a base or S model, beef it up with mopar parts, and charge more. Unless they advertised it as a Mojave on the build sheet, they might just say "sorry, not our problem." They had a beefed up Wrangler at the dealership I bought my JK that was a modded Sport.

looks like they slapped some sahara fenders, and mountain edition wheels and bumper trim of a sport model. Does the dealership sell modded jeeps? That would explain the extra parts they threw on your jeep.

What does your window sticker say?? Also send Jeep customer service an email requesting the build sheet based on your VIN. Then you will know what you have there.

When I lived in Canada a couple decades ago it was common for the Canadian version of an American car to have different equipment than the US version.

Yeah, I do know the export models for outside of North America have quite different standard equipment levels to the domestic versions (our "base model" Sports are like fully loaded Saharas minus the painted fender flares). I would have thought the gheko design on the leather seats would be one of the main identifiers of the special edition though, regardless of the market.
