Rear end date stamp 67 Norwood

[67ssrsl78conv]

When was the rear end stamped for a 67 Norwood camaro built 1st week june? Were there racks of rears with codes on them  and were picked out or was the rear stamped for each car?  Would a May 10 stamp work for a June 2nd built car?

I believe the rears were made in batches and sat on racks until needed.
The gear ratio likely made a difference when a specific rear was used and that impacted the car build date vs. rear date period (ex: a more common 3:07 may have a closer date to car build vs. a 3.73) plus there was probably no 'rotate stock' practice.

The rear end (axle tube) was stamped when the rear was assembled at Chevrolet-Detroit Gear & Axle, not at the car assembly plant. May 10th is fine for a June 2nd-built car.
