The chart should have interior trim paint color as well... as that is what the first letter represents.  B for Blue R for Red DG for Dark Green

I would just add a footnote to cover the colors..

The "9/10A"  with "LG7" and "722" is actually "8/10A" for an October '68 build "69. :)

At Bryan302's urging, I was going to remove my back seat and photograph my rear bulkhead, but with the buckets in the car, I was unable to get in sufficiently to get enough leverage/pressure on the bottom of the rear seat bottom to get it released from it's retention..  Anyone got any tips on an easier way to do it...  I don't want to remove the front buckets to do this...  :(

Sounds familiar Gary; I've done this and it can be a bear, but I've not had to remove the buckets.

It's been years, Gary, but IIRC, I adjusted my front seat so that it would support my arm/shoulder to give me leverage to press back on the lower front edges, one side at a time

My car has shrunk over the years; I can't get into it like that now.. :)    I did have all the seats out at one time (maybe 15 yrs ago) when I replaced the carpets, and I think I recall seeing marks on the rear bulkhead, but at the time, I didn't know of it's significance (and didn't have a camera handy), so I have no photo.   I'm certain I'll find X3 or X33, but I'd like to have photographic evidence, and Bryan wants me to enter the data on his listing ... :)

PS.  Bryan indicated that interiors that had black portions(?) would be X coded on the bulkhead, but that cars with 'all blue', 'all green', etc..  would have different letters.  I'd never understood that distinction before, so I'm anxious to see/record what my orange interior car has.   My carpet, dash, hatrack, sail panels, kick panels, and headliner are all black even though the seat covers are orange houndstooth, and the side panels and door panels are orange (with black carpet on the lower part).

That's how mine is Gary except with white houndstooth,  Headliner, package tray, carpet etc... are all black.
I've never had the back seat out of mine but I will now, lol.  I'll have to check that out and see what is there.

If I may ask, please add your paint and interior to each car submitted.  If it is X3 for example, please state if it is 711, 712, 713, 727, etc.  If it is a colored interior, please state std. or deluxe and number.  Just trying to make the list more complete, and it is more interesting to see what the car actually looked like, and how equipped.  In the long run for research and archives, it will be more complete also.

We have a update in the making.  Larry and Gary, we look forward to your codes.  Gary, get you some knee pads if you need them!  If you will put your knees on the floor and your shoulder against the back of the front seat, it makes it pretty easy, or easier.

Thanks,
Bryan

Clearly a small data sample but it does look like "X" for black interior trim paint and other color code letters for non-black interior colors (by exception).  Black interior trim paint was very common.
