Sure looks like a retrofit by someone who did not want to do the end block woodworking to use the Taylor battery compartment/end pin jack. There is nothing unusual about a Taylor model special ordered without electronics coming with the standard "ce" label. I have two of them - an 814ce and 714ce ordered without ES (and some other options for standard models). They carry the stock model designation on their labels because they are just iterations of a standard model - not true BTO or full-on customs.
My Taylor BTO says "Custom GS" on the label.
