Maybe, I have reissued books that were lost or eaten by mice if I can verify the original logbook date. As was said there is no central registry. The regions usually keep a record but I know of many cases where that was lost. There is also no record of the car’s history other that the logbook.
If you can find the number, call the tech chief of that region and see if he has a record of when the car was originally teched. If that fails you need to start from scratch.
