Looks suspicious to me, Charley. Block surface texture looks very different under each stamping. And what the heck does '168626897' mean

The block pad looks like it's been decked up to the V. The #s don't make any sense.

There's no plant designation. and the first 6 is should be a 9 it's upside down. The first 8 should be an L because I think by 2-20 of 69 norwood cars had the vin by the oil rail.

The stamper apparently thought that the year should be represented with two digits - '68 vs. just an 8

The V022 looks almost the same.

I think the 2's are different fonts.
