Decoding a 1972 Olds Build Sheet Date

Attached find partial '72 Olds 98 Cowl Tag.
The 01C translates to January 3rd Week Build date in 1972, would that be correct to assume?

The Partial Build Sheet attached indicates an 11 01-17 as a Schedule No. Date.
What does the 11 mean?
The 01 would match January and the 17th a Monday would be the 3rd week of the month in 1972.

Partial Build Sheet 1972 Olds 98

Partial Cowl Tag 72 Olds 98


Does this make sense? Anyone can verify this?
Linden Plant New Jersey.

So why is it a partial build sheet when it looks complete?

Here is the entire Build Sheet for the 98.
This one was found behind the rear seat not anywhere near the seat springs.
The second one located was folded and taped above the gas tank.
Humberview is the Toronto (Etobicoke) Dealership where the car was sold from.

Same questions as originally posted.
