Just my $0.02, the fiberglass would be exceedingly hard to change for any reason. I would go with that. A PO may have wanted and official C&C plate and added it from another boat. A worker at the factory may have been having a bad day and misread the number when they were making the plate.
Trouble is if the boat is documented with the wrong number the coast guard is gonna question changing it to make it right. I believe most jurisdictions go by the number imprinted in the aft stbd corner of the boat. To the best of my knowledge nobody care or even knows to look anywhere else. If the boat was stolen the investigators would use the corner to ID the boat and I believe that would hold up in court. If the vessel sank and a diver went to ID the boat the corner would be one of the things they attempted to find not some obscure plate.
