'70 #s LS5/4-sp Chevelle
Not a great resto by any means, but appears to have its original CRN LS5 block.

CRN is a Monte Carlo block for automatic. CRT is Chevelle manual trans.... not original.
Which would seem to indicate the vin tag is also from the Monte "donor"...

Are we looking at a factory assembly line stamping mistake?

That’s interesting that the CRN code is Monte specific - many of the online references show it as Chevelle with manual trans. You know what they say about truth on the internet

I meant the CRN versus CRT, did they stamp an N when it should have been T.

The build date code on the block should have 4 numbers. We only see 2 ...04CRN. Wouldn't that be the month of assembly, as in April ? The build date on the trim tag is 02A
Restamp vin on block ?

Looks like the number 2 before the 04 on the pad. Could be 0204 CRN which would match up with the build date.maybe it was misstamp CRN instead of CRT.
