Oh, so fresh! Must be great to have such a clean canvass to work on.
The fan housing stamp confirm your assumption.If a car is ever in an frontal accident, this chin parts is the first part to get banged up. And replacements parts post '73 were made in the US style. Your car thus likely still has the chin part it left the factory with.
It thus is likely you car also never had frontal collision.
Pick up another bunch of parts from the plating company today.
In the meanwhile, I start with wert sanding.
