The blue one especially brings the 75-77 Rally-Sport triple-color tape stripes to mind.

According to the literature, it was available with cars painted red, blue, green, or bronze.

Personally I wouldn't equate the rainbow stripe to the Mod Top - one is a reflection of the times, while the other is simply a color gradient which transcends eras (witness several stripe packages in the 1970s).

I always thought it would have been part of their custom promotion for the latter half of the 68 model year. My guess is some were built as promos, but the cost (PITA to apply) led to a canceled RPO.

Is that flyer 8.5x11?

Is it only those two items, one per side?
