Hey, that's what this list is for, right? ;-)

One other thing you could do that would be interesting: re-run the exact
same test, but with the good cards in the machine, and see if you still
get 0's printed, or if this time the correct numbers show up.

Of course, that won't definitely prove that the right numbers are actually
being used inside (in the case where it prints 0's), but it would certainly be
suggestive.
