I have seen plenty of Yellow stamps also but they have been on restored cars. I know of two muscle car dealers in the north east one in particular for some reason has been using mixed colored PBT'S with yellow for years.
I guess they same reason they put White X marks on everything possible under the hood and under the car along with the X'S with the circles on the rear end covers.
The same guys also put Yellow, Green, Red & blue dots & paint marks on just about every nut & bolt on the car. (IMO)the car looks like it has been driven through a paint ball factory.

They do this IMO to make the cars look more highly detail for the uneducated buyers. (Dealers) anything to help the sell & bring more money.

Then there is the yellow ....

Seriously, I ask because one of the National judges told me recently that all one color and mostly orange. Of course he could be wrong. Plus the fact every Camaro shop that sells first gen parts has been selling these stamps for years so who know how many of these firewalls have been stamped.

I would be interested in what Steve and the guys in the Vintage Certification Program have seen

Just saw this thread, so sorry for the delay in responding. I have looked at hundreds of camaros and with the exception of two the PTB stampings were the same color. As shown above many have a T stamped below the trim tag with an X chalk/crayon marking as well. I would certainly call multi color inspection stampings the exception but they did occur.
