2nd: To answer your question, not really. You can decode the data plate - but that is limited info and will not document every option.
3rd - please don't take this the wrong way, but long term you will find that the $$$ for full PHS documentation is very well spent regardless if you keep the car or plan to turn it around for (perhaps) some profit down the road.
Perhaps you should try to put that $$$ into perspective. You are heading down a road where you will most likely be spending a lot of money toward a restoration. I noticed you are looking for the complete mono spring rear for your car along with both traction bars. That left side bar is very rare and what you seek is going to cost you some coin. Your future expenditures are going to make the PHS cost look like peanuts.
I was very, very lucky many years ago and found that exact setup at the infamous Desert Valley salvage yard in Phoenix and got it for a steal. $700
