2011 Golf 2.5 non-GTI (or TDI) with DSG?

I'm in Canada and just bought a secondhand 2011 Golf Sportline, the shifter knob says DSG on it but everything online says they don't have it in any golf model other than the GTI for 2011.

Mine doesn't have the red lines in the front, nor the flappy paddles. The guy I bought it from was the first owner but wasn't much of a car guy. He had all the maintenance done at VW and the carproof looked great.

What's going on here, is my google-fu just lacking?

UPDATE: I confirmed with both a VW mechanic and the dealership that it is not a DSG. According to the dealership they apparently changed the knob as part of the Sports Package.
