What makes you say that???
Plenty of L-4’s on the factory assembly line were quickly repurposed and covered as J-3’s for the civilian market. The airframe serial number is the way to tell. They’re normally welded on the airframe above the right shoulder of the rear seat occupant. Of course, Clyde Smith is the keeper of the archives, and can verify details.
I didn’t see a year of manufacture or S/N in the ad.

The number on the fuselage is only a fuselage S/N (the wings had S/Ns too). It does not correlate to the Piper S/N. Some J-3s were built using left over L-4 fuselages, and some have been repaired using L-4 fuselages, but it does not make it an L-4. In fact, if you find an L-4 and the Piper S/N and the fuselage S/N match - Run. I restored an L-4J years ago, and had to get a letter from Piper to prove the fuselage S/N belonged to the Piper S/N, since the FAA insisted they were supposed to match.
