I understand your confusion. I don't have the tag on the pedal box, hence my confusion. About thirty years ago I stored the car for a few years while out of the country and mice ate a lot of the front trunk material, so I replaced the material with a new carpet. I don't know if it never had that tag or if I removed it at that time and never reinstalled it. I checked, it's not under the carpet. I may have the tag in the stacks of stuff that has accumulated over the years but just don't know. All other VIN number locations and matching motor numbers are in order. The car has never been hit or restored, just repainted.
Might some cars have been issued without that tag?
