The interior of my '72 Supreme is the original green color, but my seat belts are black. The date codes are correct, so how would I know if it was built with black seat belts, or if they should be the same color as the interior?

The standard belts were all black. The deluxe belts were color-matched to the interior. This is documented in the PIM, Section 0. What do your buckles look like?
I only have a 1970 chart of recommended interior color combinations, and an intermediate car with green interior would receive either standard or deluxe seatbelts in green. Perhaps someone has a similar brochure for 1972.

I'll have to get back to you on that...but in the meantime, are deluxe seat belts coded on the build sheet? EDIT: Here's a link to a set of green ones with a date code of (I'm guessing) of Jan '72. I also noticed that the buckles are silver, where as the ones in my car are black. Dunno if that helps, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

Unfortunately, the 1970 chart does not apply to the 1972 cars. From the SPECS booklet (in addition to what is documented in the PIM):

Brushed stainless buckels are on the deluxe version
Go back and reread my post; I never insinuated the 1970 and 1972 belts were in anyway the same; this is only your conception.
So why was it even relevant to the OP's question? Sorry, but I really don't understand why people feel compelled to waste time posting info about completely unrelated cars in response to a specific question about a specific model and year.

The reason it is relevant is that I tried to steer the op in the direction of the information he was looking for since I didn't have it, such as, in the spirit of being helpful. If that annoys you, then so be it.
It's no doubt you have forgotten more about Oldsmobile’s than I and others on this website will ever possess, but my observation is that you tread harshly at times on others when it is uncalled for; I don't particularly care for it, and I suspect there may be others that feel the same way.

One other comment, Joe. When I replied I thought I was replying directly to the op. By the time I completed my response, your response had posted ahead of mine. So, if you are under the assumption I attempted to undercut your response in any way, you are incorrect.
