It might just be, but that fact alone is a potentially bad sign since Y81s in general are pretty damn rare much less those with a 403, not to mention the 403 wasn't nearly as common in 1977 since I recall they only used them in California cars with auto trannys (don't quote me on that). But I do know that 403 cars became more mainstream in 1979 when they shoved them into every TA with a slushbox.
If it is an SE, then yeah, you got a pretty rare model... all the more reason to request a buildsheet, and if he doesn't have one, ask if you can check under the seats or (I know, this is going to sound weird), remove the gas tank and check under it. It's common for build sheets to be stuck on there. If not, the PHS would definitely be worth it.
Edit: And yes, pictures would be awesome. I can you help better then.
