I hope that the Executive was given a unique model number
It was. 2 door Executive: 5677A. 5647 and 5667 are Clippers. Others on this board can confirm where the ID plates are for that model/year as I'm not sure.
The front clip missing worries me a bit, as that is the easiest way to ID an Executive vs a Clipper. Some people may want to try and "badge engineer" a "rare" Executive from a more common Clipper.
The Executive's bodyside stripe was the same width for the length of the car. The Clipper's stripe broadened toward the rear of the car, so that would be another way to ID which it really is, assuming the paint has enough wear to be original.
