Did they run different cars on the same line like that? You would think that would be a parts nightmare not to mention specialized equipment like the body jigs shown on the Camaro.

Per the report
LOS - Fisher Body body scheduling code
at the .crg site they talk about Codes on the tag re to body build and this state
Camaros and full-size passenger cars both incremented the same sequence counter.
