Door VIN Sticker Font

My door VIN Sticker was removed many years ago for a repaint. I am looking to replace it and I hope someone can tell me what font was used on the sticker (or the closest available font) in the Lansing plant for a Feb 71 build date. Further, does anyone know if all the plants used the same font?
Thanks for the help
Phil

The correct font might be hard to find, mine was made years ago, the guy had an old typewriter with the GM vin tag font.

Most 71s look similar to the sample below. Just have to change the information to your VIN and 2/71 build date. I can even cut out some 3M clear laminate to put over it like original.
Not all plants used the same fonts. Some were different depending on the year as well. Sometimes, early months had like "02/71" or "2/71" depending on the year and plant. Not sure when and where, I don't keep up with all that stuff.
