Help Decoding Canada Cowl Plate

Could someone help with a few questions on my cowl plate?
1968 Cutlass Holiday Coupe S
VIN: 3368781133921



From my research, I think the "957" trim code mean "Parchment Vinyl" and the "KK" means "Aquamarine top/bottom". Can someone tell me what "CO8M31T-27" means? Also I think "1-6-24" is a time code, but what does it translate too?

That's not C08M31T-27, it's C08 M31 T-27, meaning 3 or more things. M31 is a transmission.

That date code is First Shift June 24th.

C08 = vinyl top
M31 = Jetaway 2spd AT
T-27 = Oshawa code for a black vinyl top. This was unique to the Oshawa plant

ST68 = 1968 model yeaer
33687 = Oldsmobile Cutlass S Holiday Coupe
OS = Oshawa, Canada assembly plant
341967 BODY = Fisher Body sequence number
TR 957 = Parchment bench seat interior
1-6-24 = First Shift June 24th, 1968
KK PAINT = Ocean Turquoise paint lower and upper. This is also unique to the Oshawa plant. Other plants only showed the lower body color if a vinyl top was ordered.
