65V is medium saddle vinyl. There is a 56 for paint that is Bright Yellow, but not listed as 56L for either paint or interior code.

The L stands for "lower" and it pops up often. Since there are not too many Corvettes where the lower body color is different from the upper body color, L usually doesn't mean much.
There are exceptions and the trim tags will show the difference (78 SA, Pace Car, 81 and 82 factory two-tones).

It was this car that had those numbers.
I was out last night and was outbid at the end.
I think someone got a good deal on a nice 75,although it was originally yellow.
I'll keep looking for another deal

I noticed that but figured it was no big deal to put the letters on.
Finding exactly where they went could have been interesting,though
