1968 Late starter questions?
RoyceP:
I am in the process of restoring a June 1968 built Cougar GT-E 8F93R56XXXXX.
The starter that came with the car seems to have no markings. I am used to seeing a number engraved on the main case. I can't find one.
RoyceP:
I am used to seeing a number stamped here - nothing.
RoyceP:
The stud for the cable is fine thread with a tall nut that shows remnants of plating - nickel maybe?
RoyceP:
The end plate looks typical to me.

Given what I see on the nose cone of your pictured starter indicates it is a rebuild and not original to the car you found it on. That would also explain why it does not have the metal stamping on the case like it typically would. Yes Ford was metal stamping the info on the starter case beginning in later 67 production.
