You are going to stir the hornets nest with this question, I predict! Short answer, when the Model A was built, the frame number and the engine number matched. Few of the existing As have their original engine, and when the replacement engine was installed the many times the mechanic failed to restamp the replacement engine with the correct number. So then, you get a vin discrepancy between the title and the engine. Solution to this is look on the frame, however this involves lifting the body off of the frame to see. Soooo, just make sure the number from the title matches the engine number. All is good. If not, MAKE it so. Now bring on the naysayers, carring on about changing VIN, etc etc. The VIN was assigned at the factory, make sure that the engine number matches, all is good. If you make up your own VIN or use one fraudulently, that's not cool.
