The Block in the car is dated 1969 so It couldn't have been installed when new, also the CE vin is standard, no one had to pay extra to have it stamped on the block and it doesn't designate anything special as far as I can see.
As far as the protecto plate and Based on my experience The reissues due to dealer transfer or trades did not usually have all the option data included like the originals.
Looks like a cool car However
