I am sure it is a 1961 model,. The “E:” on the side of the hood is the same as on a friend of mines 5.5hp Evinrude.
Regarding the removal of the black paint, I would suggest water blasting, as the black paint doesn’t appear to be sticking to the original blue well. You could also try steam cleaning………but go carefully, especially with the aluminium trim on the hood!
Looking at the photos it looks like the motor hasn’t been used in salt water, so the original paint should still be in good shape.
