Well I got this great deal on 2.0 case except with my excitement and lack of knowledge is it possible said case is actually one side aluminum as was told and the other side magnesium? If so, what heck can I do with it?

No, that is your engine serial # 6404466. It is a type 901/38 engine for a 1970 914/6 North American markets. That matches with the 2R / 3R case combo for 1970.
