I've added photos to the website linked above that show the data plate, engine plate, and the hood marking (it appears to be the numbers 3566). Based on the data plate, it looks like the original body paint color was White. Also I believe the engine plate indicates this is a factory replacement engine. The hood body number matches the data plate, 3566. Lastly, somebody asked about the 2 small holes in the glovebox door. My father in law (rest in peace) told me there had been an emblem of some kind affixed here. I do not know what kind of emblem it was.
