It is unlikely that the van is 3850kg unless it has been uprated and the vehicle plate not replaced with a new one. The VNs stated weight of 3400kg sounds more realistic for a Nuevo/Lancashire.of that vintage.
I think I would be inclined to query with the DVLA if it has been uprated at some time or was it dealer error at the time of registration.
Dont worry about your licence cover as you can get it downrated to what it should be (ie on the VN Plate)
I think I may be inclined to give Auto Sleepers a ring and ask what the original spec was. Before ringing them look at the AS vehicle number on a sticker in the glove box - from that they can tell you full details at the time of manufacture.
