And to go along with a reproduction tag idea, the "small tag" would seem to be the motor number which was not on a tag but rather stamped on the drivers side of engine block.

The number would be correct for a 1948 Super Eight 327, 5 main bearing solid lifter engine. The CE indicates the engine is equipped with second design pistons & rings and a large capacity oil pan
