The answer............

"corvetteswanted (The Seller) 152
@marsman i cant answer why it is like that but i can tell you that the engine matches exactly what is on the ORIGINAL PROTECT O PLATE… the partial vin is stamped down by the oil filter, and the front pad has the same numbers the protect o plate says it should have…i feel this car has the ORIGINAL engine and All ORIGINAL Components! if you look in the pictures you will see the partial vin stamp and another pic of front pad and pic of the protect o plate"
Because this is one of those build periods that was delayed and cars got drivetrain components that were dated after the body date.
There is nothing wrong with the dates on the drivetrain of this car.
