N95 meant Evaporative Emission Control (ECS) for the 1970 model year.

They are not the same. 
LA was a much smaller plant than Hamtramck, so they built fewer cars. They also had a 'no trash' policy, so paper items like broadcast sheets were to be pulled & tossed out. Not all of them were, so you still have to search all the normal places to know if you have one or more.
Late in the 1970 model year all E-body orders were evidenty transfered to Hamtramck, this is why we see the occasional Western Sport Special Challenger from there when they were originally all supposed to be LA built cars.
I have seen dealer invoices for LA cars delivered as far away as Wisconsin & Illinois. A fair amount of them were sent to southern states as far away as Texas & they shipped cars to Hawaii & Alaska as well.
If anyone has any dealership invoices for 1970 LA cars, I would love to see scans or photocopies. 
I used to have survivor type Cuda that was built in LA and was purchased new in Michigan. I found the build sheet under the front passenger seat but never looked under the back seat to see if had one there as well. It did not have and ECS on it as well. Also it had a stamped spread sheet right next to the fender tag which listed the plant supervisor's name and other info on it.
Man I miss that car terribly.

Her is my car before resto. I see no hole to attach the large shield to the oval "pipe" going thru frame.
Here's a couple pics I had. Maybe they will help.
Car is a 1970.

Mandatory noise reduction (with no tips) is only on E body 440+6 and Hemi cars
Ok, so those 2 engines only. So, no 6bbl/hemi e-bodies with n97 came with tips? I ask because my 6bbl b-body, with n97 (&n42) has them.
Correct sir. My WM21V with N95 and N97 has tips (N42) too 
Thats what I have found too. Only E bodies 440+6 and Hemi with n97 no tips. Not sure if the 440 4 bbl could have them? But I know lots of California sold 383 E bodies had tips. BTW, neat Cuda, My Challenger is a California sold car with the E63, D21, n95 and F8 body with the V5F molding yours has too. Though mine was built in Hamtramck because of the folding roof.

Almost all the bells and whistles, but no N95.
With all due respect, that is a beautiful tag, but the font appears more like a Hamtramck font, have a look at the tag off my last car. GG told me it was an LA tag for sure when I registered. I hope you can see this, VIN is JH23H0E114260 built in late Oct/69.
I guess I stand corrected if there were 2 fonts at LA, first I'd heard that, great thread and I miss my Challenger too.

SO I am to presume that the elongated plate that is shown going thru the frame is the missing link that I havent seen before (on the plum purple car or blue car? above). You know in my boxes of parts I might just have this piece. I seem to (maybe) have seen it thinking it was some odd piece thrown into one of the many boxes of parts I have. Now its obvious where the missing bolt or screw goes to now on the pic in the earlier page. I still wish we were contributing more info on the western Mopar dealers. I guess with no more than the fender tag I have I can never know what dealer my car may have went to. Oh well
