'72 camaro trim tag, hand stamped from factory????

[budnate]

check out this trim tag on a 72 basket case I looked at, I posted over at Nasty Z but no-one wants to comment on it.

looks like it was hand stamped after the tag was on the car and its right where they normally stamp the cars option code. car is manual steer and manual disc brakes with a 5k redline, just want to check in and make sure I am not walking away from a cool heap, could you get manual disc brakes in 72??? it sure looks like a factory install.

Darren you ready to come out of the closet yet....hmmmm.
