. As for the 122, no upgrade your car came with the Oyster Cloth interior. I' sure another member will be able to help both of us with the "J" question....tm

The month of production on the trim tag is indicated by a letter.
"A" being first month of production, "B" being second month and so on.
For 1978 the first month of production was September 77, so that's "A".
Like mentioned, "J" is June, but not because it's the letter for June, but because it's the tenth month of 78 production.

J=October
K=November
L=December
My car was built around December 13 and has a trim tag code of L13.
To further support that my sequence number is 9472.
And finally, the tank sheet shows an order date of 12/01/71.

First month of 72 production was August 71, which should make December production an "E".
Could your trim tag be lightly stamped and look like an "L"?
As far as I know, all years, at least C3s, used this letter coding for production.
Parts, now, are dated from January as in your list.
Anyway, for at least 78 which the original poster has, the codes are as I stated. I have 4 examples in my garage that verify it.

The letter N would indicate 14 months of production.
