Default Engine # 196260l715chh???

Trying to figure out what an engine pad stamp means for a 73.

Here is the engine stamp number:

ENGINE # 196260L715CHH

I am thinking somewhere in this series there should be 5 numbers in a row that match the vin# (which it does not)???

And I can not find CHH suffix in my Corvette stuff.

So, this is likely a NOM engine??? from what???

Much Thanks for any insights.

CHH is either a 307/115HP out of a '73 F or X body, or a 350/170 HP out of a '78 full size.
