Mine is an 05E build Andy. They were probably made fairly close together. Check your build sequence number - mine is 302060. Yours probably has an earlier build sequence then mine. My understanding is that build sequence numbers were assigned sequentially at the start of the process. The cars did not necessarily get finished sequentially though - some cars would be pulled off of the line if there was a problem or if options weren't available for build completion. I remember working at the St Louis assembly plant and eating lunch every day for two weeks in an L88 Corvette that we built for the export in 1968 - it got pulled off line and just sat waiting for parts. Norwood was probably the same. What is your trans build date (if 4 speed)?

Best guess from looking at the old calender is that my car was built on Friday, the 23rd, and yours was built on the following Monday.

May was a 5 week month in '69, but 05E was only 4 days, with Friday off for the Memorial Day weekend.
BTW, my car has the M40. (Look under the Berger logo).
Here is the stamp on my rear end:
