That's why I'd like to get it tested. I think they may have gone with the 2016 since that's what is currently on the lot, but I am very skeptical it is new to the 2016 model year when the required standards and engine did not change.

Why would you want to get it tested? Why not just wait for the EPA to test another 2015? I'm not sure what information benefit you'd get from commissioning your own test that would offset the time and money it would take to execute such a test.
The original tests that broke the scandal open were some grad students who borrowed cars to test them. I'd be happy to help in such an effort.

I'd also like to know if I purchased a fraudulent vehicle ASAP so that I can figure out next steps.

I would guess curiosity in one of the biggest (the biggest?) automotive scandals in a decade could be one reason.
