All the ones I've ever seen have that plaque. As far as the VIN. I thought the "5" was the start of the number sequence... or "P"... at the end of the VIN.

No LT4s had a hp plaque on the console. Those are aftermarket.

Since my LT4 didn't have the F45 suspension option, I trimmed down the HP plaque and attached it between the seat controls like so...

FWIW, if you really have one torn apart, late LT4 pistons have "LT4" cast on the underside but the early ones don't. I'll have to upload a pic of mine and a late LT4 piston side by side.
