W30 Broadcast card orphan

Is the year-code on the card somewhere? I see the mo./day....
Came across this in my files. Memory says I pulled it from a stripped out '71 W30 at a Pick-a-Part here in So Cal over 30 years ago, if you can believe it. Fenders were still on the car which drew me to it. Not uncommon for buildsheets to actually be from another car, probably in front of or behind on the assembly line.
Therefore maybe there is a chance that this card goes with an existing W30 out there somewhere and this is their golden ticket.

Very cool! I have found two broadcast cards over the years in the wrong cars. The Rallye I just picked up has the wrong one in the bucket seat and the correct one under the rear seat.

I'll give it a day or two for comments then I'll start posting it on the usual Facebook groups...would be nice for it to find it's car IF it wasn't the one crushed years ago.

The one I found sever years ago in the wrong car was for a W-30 and I found the correct car for it so it is possible.
