Yes, that is a good description of the broadcast sheets that I typically find in 69 Novas. I have found lots of these in 69 Novas that I have pulled parts out of in junkyards. The most common location seems to be behind the back seat, passengers side. Here is an address to see a sample.

Note the lack of any code for the SS option on this one, which is my own Nova. But this is an SS car.
As I mentioned before, I am not saying that this really means anything about the red Nova that we are discussing. I agree that the physical evidence found on the car during reatoration would make the case for or against the trim. The hood would have had some extra reinforcements on it for the hood grilles on a SS car, and this is a clue that I have used to ID fake SS cars before. But I am guessing that the original hood is gone on this Nova, due to the big hole.
It is interesting that the car does have the fake side louvers on it. These were normally included with the exterior decor package or the custom exterior, but neither one of those options is on this car. They were also included with the SS package.
