Anyone have 73 engine case within the range of EA0061568-EA0061586? Options

My original engine didn't come with the car. I've done some rough calculations based on data from the VIN database and personal communication with a local 914 owner whose VIN is fairly close to mine and has the original engine. Based on my calculations, my closest estimate of my car's original engine is EA0061577. I figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has a case that's within 9 of this number either above or below. If so, please let me know. The information would help me to refine my estimate of my car's original engine, and also in case one that's 'date code correct' comes up for sale.

I used this data for regression analysis, but the correlation is rather poor. No doubt since there is little data, and since only some EA engines go into the 914, and also EB and GA engines are also installed. Yours came out to 61606. Oh, and they did not use the engines sequentially. My 74 LE from Feb had an OCT engine in it, way out of sequence. I may be able to get a CoA equivalent for your car with the original # if you wanted to try that route.
