Register?
I've taken a look at the link, and thought it had a section where you could perhaps type in the VIN into a database. This would then hopefully confirm whether it's a genuine Campaign model.

Maybe I've missed the point, but have had a good scour around this and other sites prior to asking this question.
I'm looking to reconfirm from VW or an authenticated database whether a certain car is a Campaign

I don't think such a database exists.
If yours has everything in the article you linked to then you can call it a campaign.
It appears that Campaign was just a VW marketing exercise done for the last cars before the Mk2 came along - the best evidence we have of this is shown in the letter on this page:

This kind of allays my fears somewhat, in that this particular vehicle has all the hallmarks of a Campaign.
My only concern is whether the VIN plate is original as it's a brass colour.
I always have seen the original plate as white text on black plates

the chassis number is stamped into the rain tray so if the numbers match then I would assume its genuine
the options sticker is in the boot would confirm if its a campaign.
