Default 1972 tank sticker

I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. Would the tank sticker have the vin or partial vin somewhere? if you look at the bottom right of the sheet you can see the last 6 digits of my vin, but it's upside down. What information would of been in the top left corner that is missing?

My '72, assembled just a couple weeks before yours, has a two-page order sheet that I retrieved from behind the driver's dash some 30 years ago. It's complete but faded. The tank sheet was gone.

The first page, lower left is a box for Serial # and contains the last 6 of my VIN; the second page, in the same box, has the 1Z37W prefix. You can see that my sheets also contain reversed text, meaning the two sheets were folded along the bottom perforation when some of the data was put onto the first page. You can also see the reversed digits that were entered into the "security" box mid-right side.

Thanks, so the reversed number on the bottom right of mine could of picked up what was on the left while folded. i did notice the both of ours has the last three numbers hand written on the upper right. that makes me feel better about mine matching the car.
