Needle plate is not accurate, the serial number is on the front slide plate or front throat plate. Your original plate was lost and someone got a plate from an 1893 VF1 to replace it with. I cant see well the SN from your photos but can tell it is a different style than an NVF should have.
Get some 15x1's and have at it!
