Since it is a part of the database, shouldn't I be able to see this?
It appears that you need to read this, eg:
$ ldapsearch -h ldap-dev0 -b "cn=ldapsync,dc=stanford,dc=edu" -s base

Just a short note without having used this new replication engine so far:
With another LDAP server product it is sometimes faster to dump the whole
database at once (in a special replica LDIF format), copy it to the
replica system and load the database from LDIF than using the function
"Initialize Consumer" which pushes the whole database via LDAP.
Therefore I could imagine that it'd be nice to do a slapcat (replica
mode) on provider, scp/ftp/whatever to replica system and slapadd on
replica system.
