Assuming it does have a flat hood (really hard to tell, but I do not see a ducted hood in that pic) wouldn't that would rule out a COPO?

Pinstripes could have been dealer added. If the customer wanted pinstripes, even if not available on a Z/28, the dealer certainly could have added.

Did the Sport Car conversion COPO option net you the big rear bumper guards that were the same as a Z?

The only options that had mandatory bumpet guards that I'm aware of are the Z28 and G31 rear spring option which included v32 rear bumper guards. You could have just ordered V32 bumper guards as well. Looks like a flat hood so most likely a z28. Not sure about the pinstriping...

Dependent on other options and when the car was built. For example very early in the model year a Z/28 with Z21 would have been built with D96 striping. Chevrolet quickly revised that. An update to the Showroom Album dated September 12, 1968 states:

"FENDER STRIPING (RPO D96, Body-side accent stripe) included with Rally-Sport and Style Trim Group. Not available with Sport Striping (SS or RPO D90). Available in combination with Front Accent Striping (RPO DX1) or with RPO Z28."

The January 2, 1969 revision further limits D96:

"Not available when Camaro SS, Special Performance Package or sport striping is ordered. Included when Rally Sport or style trim is ordered."

The car in the photo has the 2nd design head restraints and appears to have a '69 rear spoiler. To have all that it would have had to have been ordered late December, 1968 and built mid-late January, 1969.
