1971 Mach 1, Grabber Blue w/Argent stripes. Original 2V 351C Auto, Tilt, rear defog, Black Comfortweave Interior. Under restoration. Original colors, 4V 351C, 4-Speed, Spoilers, Magnums, Ram Air. All Ford parts.
Right side is done.  Not perfect, but done.

Used all original parts, so I have a pitted floor to the box,

Left side to go.  Check out the factory stamp on the Left one.  I do not recall seeing anyone post a pic of that stamp.  Not sure if I should duplicate it or not.





 
The ink stamp is fairly common to find on unrestored buckets. I would res-tamp them. LH and RH and the date.





 
I have seen pictures like you show of stamps on the sides where the wire loom goes through, but I have not seen them on the forward face of the box, behind the bowl like mine.  Mine is a Nov 1970 build date, so I bet they decided to move the stamps to the inbooard side of the box as a process improvement over the partially masked forward stamp like mine has for better visibility during assembly and quicker inspection.
