Default Q-Jet Mystery

OK at 1st glance on the new to me 67 Sprint Firebird it looked to have the incorrect Q-Jet installed, it looks like a 68-72 Chevy style housing with the stamped part number, not the round tag but after looking up the numbers stamped into the body they seem to indicate a 67 Pontiac California Emissions automatic carb? Almost correct as the car is a Manual.
The car was assembled in the 3rd week of June 67, so it would be a late production car. Did they start using the 68 - 72 carb bodies before the end of the model year? Or is this a restamp or service replacement?
