That is an unusual sequence with the three trailing digits.... Not likey Old Town..
Can you post photos that include the deck, planking pattern, and stem profile.

"SWE" is the US Coast Guard Manufacturer Identification Code (MIC) that was issued to the Stowe Canoe Company. See http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_detail.aspx?id=SWE for more information.

Your canoe was made in 1974.
