That's a restamp.

And the seller has a certain notoriety within the hobby, with multiple ebay user ID/accounts.
There is a thread over at yenko.net which discusses this in detail.

Originality / Assembly-Line Correct 1969 Trunk Lamp (RPO U25)

« on: April 29, 2017, 04:36:56 AM »

I have a trunk lamp (RPO U25 for 1969 MY) which I believe is assembly line correct, but would like to know for sure. Seems it's not that easy to find details of an original, and (as usual) ebay is rife with items described as correct, but which have various different shaped brackets (angled in 1 or 2 planes), materials (plastic vs metal), wiring colour (orange, black or both) etc etc. NOS and over-the-counter parts are also very different, like so many other items.
So, if your car has a known factory original, I would appreciate your feedback. Also, if anyone knows what the 'BP' stamp denotes (manufacturer?).
Here's mine:

Thanks Jim! Definitely had your data in the spreadsheet, but the photos are a great addition. That really does seem an anomaly, to have 2 blocks cast in 1974 but stamped for the '73 model year..... perhaps assembled same day, and there was an issue with setting up the gang stamp?

Very sharp Andy, well done! Now enjoy the car and pick off the small stuff over the winters.

Sweet, nice for spring cruising. Love the bench seat and column shift.
Being a LOS car, have you checked on top of the gas tank, driver's side, for a broadcast copy?

Partial VIN 19N585108
Assembly Stamp P9A14B
Ebay URL: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201892837367
User ID: ostatediesel
Location: Grand Rapids, Ohio USA
BIN $799
Description:
Muncie M21 close ratio 4 speed transmission originally out of a 1969 Camaro. This transmission was just pulled from many years of careless storage where it got some rust on the synchros and gears. The rust really isn't bad on the gears and would probably work fine as is. The tailhousing looks like it had a factory repair. The case is in great shape. No cracks or repairs. All threads are good. Real all 1969 four speed with the correct matching bolts. Chevy, Buick, Olds, Pontiac

Original or not, the rust around the rear window channel needs to be fixed.
