On top of the transmission housing right in front of the shift lever is a plate with model and serial numbers. I thought it was because it had been covered in oil for 40 years that it was so clean but when i decided to read it today i noticed it said land rover genuine parts...range rover? I have a 1970 ex mod 109. Does this mean it has been replaced at some point in its life? I'm pretty sure range rovers were not even a thought in 1970.
serial number plate on transmission says range rover?

As noted by Thompson, the Range Rover first hit the dealerships in 1970. A "road rover" had been under consideration, design, and planning since the late 1950's.
