from what i understand SM-2383 was a hand built testing prototype 914/6, also used for some of the very early promotional photography. you can see in some of the early promo shots that it had trunk lid prop bars instead of springs as protos did.

if the car retained its plates and they were not shifted around to other cars, it must have then gone on to be the 914 R prototype or GT proto that was used for initial homologation? as in above posted photos.

i read somewhere, but now can't remember where, so going off memory but the 914/6 GT prototype was built up from one of 20 914/6 pre production prototypes built in 1968?
serial number 914.119? the last one 120 was a sporto prototype according to this website info here. 119 isn't listed as existing. piech's 8 and ferry p's 8 were two others from that batch.

so is this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) prototype 914.119?

No, those plates were freely moved around to make a car temporarily road-worthy and didn't belong to any specific car.
