1967 Delta 88 convertible

The plate on the firewall on the driver's side looks like this.

05B D
67-35867 LAN 642 BODY
378-C Y-8 PAINT
W2TR
5HY

The 05B means built in the 2nd week of May, I think. What's the "D" mean that follows it and is actually way over to the right on the plate.

The 67-35867 is the model year followed by the first 5 digits of the VIN. LAN = Lansing assembly. 642 = Lansing plant body sequence number

What's the rest of it mean? I'm assuming the Y-8 is the paint color, and since the car is yellow, I'm assuming the "Y" part of Y-8 means yellow. Is that correct?

Thanks.
