318 Identification

OK i am going thru my 68 Notchback and making sure numbers are good. Found all the numbers on the rad support and rear truck and they all match the fender tag order number. Now for the engine, i am not finding the stamp on the rear of the block but it is pretty dirty and not much room with the engine still in the car. I did find the front stamp under the drivers side head and the casting date on the passenger side. This is were my confusions starts. The casting date on the side of the block is 9-6-67 ok not sure if a block would sit that long as my build date for the car was 9-19-68. The stamp on the front is PM318R 2243 272? If i read the sheet correctly a P is a 79? but the 2243 is a 68 date code?
Drivers side, front of the block below the cylinder head is where the specific block numbers are stamped. It's on the machined deck surface that sticks out under the head.
