Default 57 fuelie or not?

I usually hang out in C3,however I saw a 57 badged with fuel injection emblems but it had the 2x4 carb under the hood. Is there a way to tell if it was originally fuel injected or if the badged were just added?

Any info is appreciated.

The only reliable clue is the suffix on the stamp pad (if the pad is real); fuelies had "EM" and "FK" suffixes for the 250hp, and "EL" for the 283hp. 2x4's had "EH", "FG", and "EG".

Thank you very much for the quick response. At least now I have an idea what to look for.
