Matt, I don't collect any information on '65-up trans stampings, but I can tell you that earlier ones had a variety of VIN stampings. Some plants used a gang holder and some used individual characters.
The statement that all plants used a gang for the VINs is completely inaccurate. The genesis for restamps was in the Corvette hobby, and by FAR, the most easily detected block or trans restamp is one that uses the small St. Louis font in a gang on other assembly plant components. (that's how their operation is set up and they haven't done the research to know what a real stamp should look like from other plants).

Matt: My 66 M-21 from my 66 chevelle looked very similar to your photo. It is a numbers match car and the numbers were not gang stamped. Hope this helps.

here are some pics of a 6-64 M20, installed in early 65:

so, I'd say that the pic you show is not a re-stamp
