CAN Setup / Proxi Alignment read outs

Hi, I've just bought 500L and previous owner had a bump in the back so he replaced back door and a new one has an original Fiat rear camera but it's not working. So it seems that it's installed, connected to 5in uConnect radio, but in CAN Setup it is not enabled.
When I connect to CAN via MES it shows wrong data:

Country should not be Switzerland, engine is shown to be "type 2/1.4 16v" - should be 1.3 16v diesel, gearbox is presented as "double clutch" but in fact it is a selespeed.
So my question is: should I make any changes to those settings to the most probable ones? Or should I leave it the way it is, change only rear camera selection?
Where all those data are coming from that MES is reading? Is it directly from modules? Can I brick anything aligning proxy with one change only?
Thanks.

update: I did proxy alignment with incorrect data, but nothing bad happened, camera works.

put engine and gearbox as it was - MES doesn't show all values there

I didn't change anything but the camera selection to "enabled", everything's working.
But the real question is why MES doesn't get the true readouts? It's confusing a bit.

OK. somehow thought you changed engine/gearbox settings.
however this does not change the fact that what I wrote above is correct - type 2 engine also includes your 1.3 SDE 16v 80/90/95 HP engines for 500L, it just doesn't show it. same goes for gearbox under dual clutch there is selespeed for 500L

@shpuncik Thanks a lot for explaining.
Nevertheless IMHO it's confusing and misleading and can get you into trouble.
