Maybe when the VIN tag was sold 21+ years ago the seller also had the cowl section?

Several comments have been posted noting that, when viewing from the rear, the roof and the floor pan / rear clip don't align. And it's not even close. Easy to conclude that maybe at some point this body (whatever VIN it may have been born with) was stripped down to a birdcage and nothing more, then the entire backend tacked on piece by piece.
Some people are talented enough to do that and end up with everything fitting and being square. But most aren't. Whoever did this car should have stuck to the change-one-piece-at-a-time approach. I know a guy that sent a decent 67 Chevelle body to an "approved AMD installer" who said it needed everything (which it really didn't, but ... ). They stripped it down to the cage and put all repro metal on it. When done, one side at the back was almost 4" off from the other side. Yet somehow they got a decklid to fit on it ??? So he aborted and sold that project, and moved on to a rust free car instead!

Seller added a pic of the backside of the cowl VIN stamp. Sure looks like two sets of numbers are stamped over top each other from that view ...

It appears that way from the top too, with what may be some filler/seam sealer added around it. Compared to an original, clean panel and stamp it is a mess.
