My new 1969 SuperBee came with 4-piston front disc brakes. It had 14" rims with optional 14" wheeldiscs, seen on a lot of '69 Coronets. My guess is that the Coronet is an early pre-production photo-op car. The 15" rims and wheel discs could mean it has a Hemi in it.
 
Pre production cars often had slightly different badging than production models. I remember the picture of a 1969 Mopar 340 barracuda, which ended up being the 'cuda 340.

It certainly seems to have an identity crisis? I believe that is "500" style lower paint, but with "440" style side-moldings? It has R/T badging, but it also has 'something' where "Coronet-500 or -440" would go on the fender? No visible head rests (or front seats even) but my Spidey-senses are tinglin' "bench"? ... Might just be a 440 that someone painted and badged to taste - don't know.
