Default KORZUM on stamppad

I have a 1968 427/400 with a stamp pad that is correct except it has the following information on itTO417IM and 18S417455 however it has in the top right hand side the letters KORZUM. What does this represent?
Thanks
Tommy

My guess is that it is a rebuilder's stamp. It is, of course, not stock. The engine ID and VIN derivitive stamps are otherwise correct for a 68 assembled after April 17, 1968. VIN idicates early May.

IM is correct for that year and engine provided the trans is a 4 spd and not an auto. the korzom thing does not mean anything that i know of.
