That's pretty bad when the "official" Navy plate is available on Ebay as a repo and doesn't match the original. The 69 Camaros made at Norwood are notorious for having fake trim tags and they can be detected somewhat easily but people continue to buy a car first and then ask questions later. There is so much faking, restamping, bogus documenting going on in the classic car hobby it's out of control. There's nothing wrong with building yourself a clone of something if you can't afford the real thing, but 3-4 owners down the road they seem to suddenly become real cars and that's where the problem starts. Usually, classic car dealers get involved somewhere in the middle and conveniently forget some of the facts.
