Front bumper is Base/S - GTS has Turbo bumper.
Hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure that's NOT the GTS/TurboS spoiler.
The wheels are wrong for a GTS. I think those are later Cayenne 20" rims.
Calipers look to be red, which would be correct for a GTS, but I'm willing to bet those are just base (smaller, 17" rim compatible calipers) painted red.
You have wheel arches, which is correct for GTS. But, I'm not seeing GTS side skirts.
Something fishy going on here, definitely not a GTS. Good luck!

The VIN is on the edge of the label.
Is this the number printed there?

Yes it is. The real question is did the seller do something with the vehicle or was Porsche selling bogus GTSes in Panama from day one? Any other Panamanian Cayenne owners here? I may need to ask some locals for their opinions.

This is absolutely not a GTS and appears to be a very low option base v6 car. Also the data you posted based on VIN is wrong as it lists horsepower at 550 which only the Turbo S models had. I think someone added the GTS emblem, the seller misidentified it based on the emblem, and you misidentified it based on inaccurate data provided by some vin analytics website.

if you are looking at the vin there in the back, the build sheet/plate is back there too. tell you all you need to know. but looking at your engine bay, people have been in there a lot.
regardless of the VIN, the engine is not a Cayenne GTS engine of that model year/generation. It is the 6 cylinder.
i do not understand your hesitation on posting the full VIN.

I asked above if I should post the full VIN and no one told me yes or no. I don't know if this is considered sensitive information.
A local gave me the number of the official Porsche distributor in Panama. Indeed, they originally sold this car and it was a base Cayenne V6 not GTS. Trying to figure out who did the cosmetic GTS upgrades.

I got the service information. I'm trying to figure out where it was serviced after 2017.
There are 2 known owners other than me per the main service center.
The service center says the pre 2012 odometer readings have a typo from when they switched software. They should be starting with 2 not 7

I'm not in the country and it wasn't delivered before I left. I won't have any impressions until next week.
If it doesn't have any problems I think I'll be happy with it. Question now is should I be asking for a partial refund?
I guess my choice of username on this forums is now ironic.
