It would seem that using the Desoto badging would have been done for a particularly special order since the FARGO procedure was well established.

Back then, Chrysler sold their products through distributors and not through the factory. Many of the high performance cars were totally rebuilt by these distributors and some even had the distributors' names as part of the car brand. Also, many vehicles sold through that distribution system were titled by the year sold instead of the year manufactured. So maybe that Desoto badge was done by a distributor for whatever reason.
