So here are the facts.

The Engine number and the frame number should match the title number.

If they do not match it would not be unusual as all sorts of things could have happened over the years.

While you are not allowed to change numbers, there are ways to change the numbers so they match the title.

Just for perspective your car could be on its second or third restoration. It also could have be built from parts laying around in 1946. The frame looked good from a tudor, the engine ran good from the A400 and body Bob had on the worn out frame looked good.
Then in 1955 it was in an accident and the fenders all got changed from another car. In 1960 the engine got changed....
Well you get the picture. You need to make what you got work.
