Better bet is the late '71 production 455HO engine was misappropriated from a shop or storage, then possibly sold. Anyone that's going to step up & pay for a VERY desirable roundport convertible is not going to sell off its original engine.
As far as the '69 Bird project goes, I'd be highly suspicious to what's under the quickly sprayed grey primer. Poor quality metal & body work, along with substandard prep are par for the course on such presentations.
