Yes, those plants were closer, like 1/2 to 3/4 mile apart. Was just taking a guess from memory. Ask the mailman: Ex. Address of (21000 Mound Road minus 5000) ÷ 2 = 8,000 = 8 Mile Road and Mound Road, center of intersection. (19000 Mound Road minus 5000) ÷ 2 = 7,000 = 7 Mile Road and Mound Road...

Yes, you're right. I had two cop cruisers so I should have remembered. EH1 - Lil Red Truck.

"Federal" trucks were not limited but Canada, California, and Export categories had different emissions standards, later in the 1970's. Can't remember a specific date.

I agree with Dano, get the numbers off the machined pad to identify.
