According to this link,

The early 1965 520's had two headlights.  This one is stamped 1967 on the plate but has 2 headlights.

It was common pratice for American Datsun dealers to "Update" the id tag to the next model year if it didn't sell. Nissan NA even endorsed this pratice by suppling new plates.  The VIN is 14,294 anybody know where that fits in? The door tag would give you the build date
