Here we go again, your logic is flawed, just because you personally know 
of lots of windows 2003 & 2000 servers that have 'uidNumbers' does not 
mean Samba 4 is level 2003.

The 'uidNumber' did not become a fixed part of the windows schema until 
2003R2, before that it had to be added, but 'uidNumber' is a fixture of 
Samba 4 therefore Samba4 cannot be level 2003

Also, if Samba 4 is level 2003, why does it ship with the 2008 & 2008R2 
schemas and no sign of the 2003 schema?
