C1 part tag?

[Brad Barrett]

I recently pulled the seats out of my 61 and discovered a small (3 1/4"X 1") black fiberboard/paper tag lying on the floor that was embossed with the following info:
MSWBP 8 5 60
DA1F-1114-L4
3782955-6
I looked thru the AIM but had no luck matching up the numbers. Anyone have any ideas what this might be? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

GM #3782955 and GM #3782956 were, respectively, the left and right seat back frame assemblies used for 1961 and 1962 Corvettes.

Brad... The 8 5 60 would be date information

Thanks for the response. One further question - are these types of "tags" something one would expect to find in the vehicle? Is it supposed to be in the car or is it something that was just left in the car from the assembly line?

The seat frame supplier affixed it to the seat frame, and eventually it just fell off on the floor; these tags (or their remnants) are frequently found on old, unmolested seat frames.
