 I have a PM G5 dual 2.7 with the serial number on an Apple refurb  
sticker on the case door opening at the bottom of the latch area. The  
MOBO doesn't report a serial number in profiler.

That's actually more common than you think. I have the official Apple
Internal Intel Reserializer tool. It is software that allows you to
change a serial number to match the one on the case if you had to swap the
Logic Board out.
