Missing piece of my decoding

Any help on the "A65" and "01B 010203" would be appreciated. I think I got everything else correct.

VIN PLATE:
3J57R7G129937


3 = Division Code: Oldsmobile
J = Series: Cutlass Supreme
57 = Body TYPE: Coupe, 2 Door Hardtop
R = Engine: 350CI (5.7L) 170 HP V8 4BBL
7 = Last Digit of Model Year: 1977
G = Plant Code: Framingham, Massachusets
129937 = Production Sequence Number

COWL TAG:
BODY BY FISHER
ST 77 3AJ57 G 075689 BDY
TR 11W A65 29L 22T PNT
01B 010203


ST = Style
77 = Model Year: 1977
3AJ57 = (3 - Division: Oldsmobile) (A-body type) (J57 - Model type: Hardtop Coupe)
G = Framingham, Massachusets
075689 = Unit number
BDY = Body

TR = Trim
11W = (11 - White) (W - All Vinyl)
A65 = ???????????
29L = Dark Blue Poly (Body Color)
22T = Light Blue Poly (Vinyl Top Color)
PNT = Paint

01B 010203 = ????

A65 is a bench front seat. 01B is second week of January 1977 build date.

That makes sense.

I wonder why they coded the front seat? Due to the impacts of center console configuration, bucket seats etc...?

Thanks Terry.
