That is odd as is the bent upper left portion.
How often was the made by plymouth tag installed? I've not seen that very often.
I looked through my tags and do not see any other tag that has a 71 on it like that.
The made by Plymouth tag was installed on export cars. This one claims it was ordered overseas by a serviceman so it was export ordered, but likely delivered in the states after he returned.
Same SPD as my 71 R/T.
Maybe the bent left corner was due to the install of the "Made by Plymouth" export tag.
I don't have a reference detail photo collection handy to refer to, but my recollection is that those export tags were installed stand alone on the inner fender, not sharing a screw with the fender tag.
I'd hazard a guess they were installed at some step in the delivery process after the car rolled off the assembly line. Not at the shipping port leaving here or arriving overseas though, as they are seen on cars ordered overseas by servicemen prior to returning here, and delivered here after they got back thus the car in these cases were never actually exported.
Possibly a mistake made during restoration the way that's it's currently installed.
This is why I think its somewhat funny as most of the export tags were put to the right of the data tag.

A buddy has a 69 Charger export car and the tag does not share a screw with the export tag. My guess is that was installed wrong by resto shop.
