Can't really think of a good reason it would be the other way around (correct VIN tag, wrong trim tag). Why would anyone take a 4K tag and plaster it onto a 6-cyl car and leave the 6-cyl VIN tag in place?? Not like you are going to fool anybody that way.

50 years ago ? Crash the L78 car and buy a 6 cylinder to swap all the drivetrain to. I don't think many people would have given a second thought to the differing tags back then, it was "just" a car then, not revered as in the present day.
May have even been done in the 70's to fool insurance and get a lower rate for insuring a 6 cylinder car...we did lots of crazy things back then...
Pull the cowl panel ans see if the partial is still there and if it matches the vin tag.
