Need help decoding body tag

Belongs to a 70 442 that is sitting in a local restoration shop that was brought in the original owner for paint/body work. Thanks!

We can get at least some of it.

3 = Oldsmobile
44 = 442
87 = hardtop coupe (2-door)
E = Linden, New Jersey assembly plant
1201 = Fisher body sequence number
12A = first week of December body assembly date

The "B" next to the PNT means black vinyl top, I think. The other paint code (WA 3893) I've not seen before, so I don't know.

TR 930 = black vinyl bucket seats
CO8 = vinyl roof

Thanks...yeah it's the paint code that I was most interested in as the car appears to be originally sebring yellow which I gather was a special order color so I would have expected the '--' for PNT.

That's what I came up with WA3893 Sebring Yellow.
