If you want to be certain of what you've got the best way is to write down your VIN and call up Holden, and find out about the history of the vehicle which matches that number.

Other little things that you might want to look at:
Suspension height (all VNSS came from the factory with FE2 suspension, look on the build plate), that said, so did many calais and even some execs. But it's a start.
Brake Rotor size, as far as I know the rotors on the front of the SS were bigger than the ones on the standard exec (I sure hope they are anyway).
Fuel tank, the V8 came with an 80 or 85 L tank, if it's smaller then it's either been swapped or the engine doesn't belong to the car.

There's a whole lot of little cosmetic clues, but they could all have been changed, the only way you're going to know for certain if it's real or fake is to call up Holden and ask about the VIN.
