Yes, GM-H had their act together with most Chev CMPs assembled in Australia having the chassis number clearly stamped on the vertical face of the left front chassis rail. Fords were on the right either on top of the chassis rail (where it could not be easily seen) or sometimes on the vertical face of the right front chassis rail (or simply not at all). Engines and usually gearboxes were stamped with the engine number.

Here's a typical spot adjacent to the engine mount to look for a Ford CMP number:
