John...

The 2.70 refers to the 'core thickness'....this radiator was unique for the Nova that year. All the Gibb COPO Novas came equipped with the HD 2.70 4 core unit. In 68-70 the tags were similar between Nova and Camaro...this link will show you the tag/codes.

The Gibb Nova advertisements mention the special 2.70 radiator

That’s the same thing I was thinking. The right tank is probably incorrect. It would be the same as a 68 BB Camaro with a/c and an auto.

I would double check with some other Gibb car folks about the tanks...these were a 'small batch' production...no telling how Chevy handled the parts for this. Also, someone like Wayne Bushey might know...
