You are correct that the 289 was not available for the 1969 model year, as the 302, and the newly introduced 351 were the only small block V-8 engines available in the 1969 Mustang, and, therefore, if a 289 engine in is a 1969 Mustang, it can't be the original engine.
However, the 289 was still available in the Mustang through the 1968 model year. Although for the 1968 model only the 2 barrel "C" code version of the 289 engine was available, as the 4 barrel "A" and "K" code versions of the 289 were not available after the 1967 model year.
