Default 1970 GT Capri Identification Query

Hello All, I recently purchased a 1970 Capri V6 and am working my way thru sorting out a list of issues for RWC but have recently been wondering about its history and about the way of verifying if she is what she appears to be (an original GT).

I am not a purist by any means, I have loved Capri's since my teens and only recently been is a position to purchase one.

She has been repainted and restored inside and out and came with a copy of a letter from Ford Mo Co (picture attached) to provide further context.

The VIN on the document matches the VIN stamped on the radiator support (there is no compliance plate). Also, there is another number stamped on the strut tower (picture attached), I'm not sure what that number references.

Another question I have is about the reference to items in the letter stating the word "Delete". Does this mean the original owner did not want these options?

Any advice on the above or of the history of the vehicle would be greatly appreaciated.
