Back in the day, Shelby offered a fully degreed balancer part number GFJD 6316 A with a list price of $28.65. There were aftermarket companies who offered the same thing for most any engine and manufacturer by remarking your old balancer.

In my experience fully degreed balancers were used on R model mustangs. If your motor was ever balanced with the fully degreed balancer then I would leave this on. The date code 5E does sound right for a late 1965 shelby.

Keep in mind that the fully degreed balancer that he has, does NOT have a date code.
I do agree that if the engine was balanced with the fully degreed balancer, that it needs to be on this engine. Short of that, the 5E balancer can be match balanced to the fully degreed one is you want to eliminate the fully degreed one. This, of course, only applies if you have the history of engine work on this engine and know for certain that the fully degreed balancer was balanced with the engine..
