Default What do the metal tags on the bottom of the seat mean?

Well I am in the process of redoing my seats. While I was taking them apart i found a metal tag attached to the bottom of the seat and on this tagthere is a series of number and letters. I was woundering if anyone knew what these tags are for. If there is a way to decode the numbers?

Here are the pics but you cant really make out the number on the tag

You might talk with someone in NCRS as they are really into that kind of thing.

I guessin' here, but there is the possibility, of those numbers being related to the aspect of a "number's matching" car. Those seat numbers may have to do with the interior option verification.
Well, it's just a guess.

Have ya seen you build sheet?, maybe there is a matching number for the interior there.
The "Starship" didn't have her build sheet, so I don't know just what all is there. [&o]

Your build sheet is found on top of your fuel tank. That's where people have been finding their's. Mine was gone. I guess they can be effected buy weather and such. I've seen pics of a few that were in pretty bad shape. [&o]
