Wow, not sure how I never stumbled on this thread before but just thought I'd chime in now-better late than never!
Everything stated in this thread seems to be right on with what's in my car.  Here's the info:

12D LOS car
D55 Console
Woodgrain Panel
Smooth Black tray face

Great thread guys! THANKS ;D

I know this is a old thread but I have a question, I have seen the walnut woodgrain applied in both the horizontal and vertical fashion can anyone one explain this?

Pontiac firebirds came with both walnut and a knotty woodgrain laminate.

And in a different orientation than Camaro, IIRC.

Firebird was horizontal and had a different ash tray.

Coming back to this.
Looking through the db, there's a pretty clear cutoff for LOS. January cars generally have black ashtrays, February cars (and a couple Jan cars) have woodgrain. NOR is surprisingly similar, but with a bit more mixed at the cutoff.
Real problem is the data isn't absolute - no telling what's been done to a car after 40-50 years. So that's as definitive as it may ever get...
