Yes, both my Caribbean and spare Patrician motors also have the vehicle number stamped as a motor number on the flat by the oil filler tube.

No, I don't have the car that the Patrician motor is from.

All 1956 Packards were built in Detroit. The only Packards built in South Bend were those based on Studebaker vehicles, specifically the 1957 and 1958 Packards.

I don't know what all the features were that differentiated an export motor, I believe one was the cylinder head shim to reduce the compression ratio for the lower octane fuels in the export market.
