Yes, I guess I was looking at the wrong angle. I can now see the "JJ" stamping but yes, as you say where the broach marks would be are covered by head gasket.

To me the protecto-plate and window sticker look very crisp and fresh for being 43 years old. Also, the handwriting style on the warranty book looks like a very modern style - I dont recall ever seeing anyone using this type of script print that many years ago. The window sticker has all perfect edges - not a single tear or deviation on it and any sticker that I have ever removed from a new car I found that nearly impossible to do. Maybe the glue back then was weaker than they use today.
