It really doesn't matter which shares were which. Think of each share that existed as of the record date as having a voucher "good for one dividend" attached to it. So you got a voucher on the record date for the shares you owned then, and you got a voucher today when you bought shares, and then had the voucher taken away when you sold the shares. If FINRA does not approve the dividend your voucher is worthless.
