thank God Joe is here to help, and is right... block does not have the humps under the heads, these are just about as strong as the mexi's just don't have the 289 hipo main caps.

Through a bunch of research I have found the mexicans in various forms, not all have the hecho in mexico, but some have an m denotation. This one has 7M9 on block, but am still not willing to claim it is or isn't.
The 7m9 Is the production date of the block which I believe is 12-9-67.
