Aside from asking the seller, there are 3 ways to tell which STOL kit an airplane has using just the internet:
1) Look for a detailed picture of the airspeed indicator. A Robertson STOL kit provides a new airspeed indicator with a much lower stall speed. The Horton kit does not.
2) Look for the 5 bolts protruding from the bottom of each wing outboard of the flaps. These are the mounting points for the bellcranks that allow the aileron droop of the Robertson kit. Robertson planes have these 5 bolts, Horton planes do not. This thread has an example in the last message:

3) Get a copy of the aircraft records from the FAA (this takes about a week in the US, I expect it's more in France.) Go to
https://aircraft.faa.gov/e.gov/ND/ and request the records. The serial number for N62NA is P3370269.
I can't tell from the pictures of N62NA that are available online. It honestly doesn't look like a STOL leading edge on the wing. The tail boom fairings that are labeled "STOL" are from Aviation Enterprises and do not make the plane take off or land any shorter than stock fairings.
