From the Haynes manual for DOHC CB750s, page 160:

Your engine number RC01E-2236872 is a 1981 US model CB750K.
Your engine number RC01E-2110705 is a 1980 US model CB750K.
Your frame number RC010BM208228 is a 1981 US model CB750K.

It's possible that the engine was swapped from a 1980 model year bike into your 1981 frame. As far as updating the title to reflect this, I would imagine it's up to your local municipality.

Handy little book, this Haynes manual.
