The device is in CDMA mode so reporting the ESN instead of the IMEI.

If you have physical access, just take the lid off.

If you don’t, you would turn on the trace feature on the asy ports of the modem and add the ati command to the init string option (simply i as you don’t need the at bit). Save the config and reboot then look at the trace. It will be shown in there if you are quick enough before it is overwritten.

Don’t forget, you have until the end of this year to replace this unit before it goes dead on Verizon.
