Default Help decoding trim tag!!!

I have a trim tag for a 1967 Corvette 427/400 that reads as follows.
If anyone can shed any light on exactly what this means, that would be great. Specifically I am unsure of the B20
Thanks in advance for the help.

B20
Style 67 437 SO276 Body
Trim 414JJ 976AA Paint


Vin tag next to trim tag reads:
194377S101200

Also, how would you know if it is a real BB 427 car. Engine pad looks correct with broach marks and it was top flighted, but thought I would ask.

Documentation and/or a lot of detective work.

194377S101200 = 1200th '67 Corvette built.
SO276 = 276th St. Louis coupe body built.

For example:
'Old Blue's' born on date is B16, four days earlier. So it must have been a Thursday if yours is a Monday. He was the 932nd '67 Corvette built and the 393rd St. Louis convertable.

Appears that St. Louis 'vert production was way ahead of coupes. 276 vrs. 393 (four days earlier).

Convertibles were 63% of production.
