Cowl tag decode

Just bought a '67 Toronado and will be picking it up next week. Here's the cowl tag. Can anyone decode it? I know some of it.




06C = built third week of June 1967
L (at upper right) = ?
67 = 1967 model year
3 = Oldsmobile division
96 = Toronado Deluxe
87 = 2-door coupe
EUC = body made at Euclid, Ohio plant
19705 = body production sequence number
084-D = the 084 means "champagne" interior, but what does the D mean?
Paint XX = garnet red lower and upper body color

The rest I don't know.
W =
X =
S =
2R =
3P =
4F =
5Y =

The body sequence number 19705 would indicate the 19,705th Toronado body built at Euclid (which was the only plant where Toro bodies were built that year), correct? This would be consistent with the total production of Toronados for 1967 of about 22,000 and the late model year build of this car as third week of June had to have been pretty close to the end of production of the 1967 models.


Thanks!

Somewhat challenging to come by via the usual sources...

W: Tinted Windshield Only (excludes side and rear glass) (source Ai)
X: Power Windows (source Hagerty)
S: Power Antenna (or Power Trunk on other GM lines, but standard for Toronado builds) (source Hagerty)
2R: Rear Speaker (source Hagerty)
3P: Remote Control Driver-Side Mirror (source according to Ai is ClassicOlds, link below)
4F: Remote Outside Driver's Mirror (source Ai)
5Y: Deluxe Seatbelts (often distinguished by chrome buckles) (source Hagerty)

AI says 3P is the trunk light.

Good call.

Makes sense as 3P and 4F were coming up repetitive, and coincidentally, Ai credits the same ClassicOlds thread...

But this time thank you to Koda as he provided the information.
