Hard to tell for sure if that is an E or an F?

If it is an E, the assembly year would be 1968. (the 1969 model year started in August 1968)

If it has a full or partial VIN down low on the passenger side, can you get a photo?

Yes its an E440 69 model year,cant get to the vin# yet need a floor jack & stands to get closer to see the vin#,cars been setting many years outside & is very low to the ground,I guess the vin# would help distinguish weather early or late build,owner states that when he bought it the seller said it was a six pack eng.

I don’t think an August of 68 assembly date on the motor would be in line for even the first of the A12 cars. I’ve never heard of one having that early of a assembly date. The vin number would tell you.
