July 1968 Body Number question

[Oregonjam]

Does the below information from my Cowl Tag make sense when compared to the Norwood information presented in the CRG reports?

It appears to me that the Cowl tag shows a body number that should have been produced in Late June yet the Body Build date states 4th week of July. This makes me think that the numbers are not assigned consecutevely but the CRG findings are showing a consecutive production number. These numbers also seem well outside of the limitations that were stated for the Norwood Assembly Plant.

CRG Team - Any thoughts on this?

I have attached a picture of my Cowl Tag.

Build Date: 07D (July, 1968 - 4th week)
Body Number Reads: NOR181518
VIN Number Reads: 124378N479750

From CRG Fisher Body Numbers on the First-Generation Camaro Report

In some cases the body numbers appear to be numbered consecutively (or nearly so) with VIN, while in other cases this is obviously not true. The numbers often appear to be disordered in relationship to either time or VIN.

67-68 Norwood Fisher Body Numbers

Further data review shows that the 1967-68 Norwood Fisher body factory used a local and purely incremental body number starting at 1 and increasing generally in order with the VIN, though usually offset from the VIN a small amount.

You're fine John. Everthing's exactly where it should be with regards to the numbers.
