Default 67 AO Smith Date Codes Question

Good day All.
Can anyone help me verify if the following date codes between the Trans, Engine Stamp, Trim Tag and VIN birthdate for an A.O Smith body car jive? I'm not sure if the various dates below are too close/far between each other.

M21 Transmission: P7D13 = April 13, 1967
Engine Stamp: V04I4 = April 14, 1967
Trim Tag: I14 = April 14, 1967
VIN Birth: April 27, 1967

Many thanks for any assistance

Very good on that aspect. Thanks

Any observations with the lack of date gap between the Engine stamp and Trim tag?
