Although I don't know for sure, my guess is that such records are only kept at the Temples. Since only Mormons in good standing can enter a Temple, the risk of "outsiders" seeing them would seem small. I'm sure it would also indicate that it was a proxy baptism, which would make clear that the person didn't do it him- or herself.
ETA: The article at the head of the thread makes references to a record or a proxy baptism being found, so perhaps they are not kept at the Temple only, but that reference also would suggest that it is clear that it was a proxy baptism.
