I'm learning here as well.....back to the carburetor, in looking at the add'l pix with this ad it shows a closeup of the carb and the numbers seem to be correct for a 780 cfm for that year/model/engine/trans. Are we sure about the protecto plate interpretation.....maybe the dealer simply put the wrong cfm wording in the ad?
COPO427 - should the vertical piece in the center of the grill be the same color as the car?

70 Z's were all 780 cfm secondary vacuum carbs. No double pumpers were used on the 70 Z28's. The list and part #'s are correct for a 4-spd 70 Z28. The ad is incorrect on the 850 DP.
The centre of the grille should be body coloured.
See this pic I took at a Camaro show. It's an original owner, original paint low mi 70 Z28. And before it's asked, the front spoiler wasn't available until 1971.

I'm no expert here but I don't think the center bar on the RS grille should be body colored. I know you say the Camaro in the picture is original owner, etc. but I have never seen a '70 RS Z with a body colored center bar. To further my point that the pictured Camaro isn't 100% correct; check out the headlight trim pieces. They are blacked out which was not original either so I wouldn't use this car as a refernce point for originality.
