Default Is this even a 'Vette a/c?

In the parts haul I posted about there are a/c components that I intend to list but want to list correctly. Wanna make sure that if a guy needs "X" and I'm listing "X", then that's what he's getting. This is the box/assembly from the engine side of things. Do these pics and serial numbers tell you anything? What year, if even off of a 'Vette, would/could this stuff have come off of? Thanks a bunch in advance for any advice you can offer. Ps, if I listened properly, sellers dad had a '71 vert, base. Also had a base, coupe that was a '73. Found mirrors in the parts that would not be from either, so a bit confused.

^ The 75B is the date code for this part.


^ A current ebay listing identifies 1131089 as a '77 Corvette receiver but I've not done any digging to see other application years. (I believe it's akin to an air expansion valve, not a receiver.)

Did a little more digging on the heat exchanger box label. Zip shows this one for '75 Corvettes:

Very happy and thankful for the info my friend. It appears that I am dealing with a multitude of years/parts. I do not want to be a pain, but how did you fimd that out? Or should I say, what search terms did you enter and where did you enter them to come to that info? I have a bunch of parts to sort through and don't want to be bothering everyone like this on each part if I can figure out how to get to the info on my own. Thanks again for the info and for taking the time to help!😀

Happy to help out as I enjoy the digging!
For the label I used: "harrison air box label" in a Google search because I knew the labels are being reproduced (same with compressor labels FYI). It returned a number of repro label vendors for all sorts of GM lines and one of them was Zip; then I chose their '75 version.
For the ebay listing, I just entered the lower number, also in a google search, and that auction was listed. I tried the GM Parts Wiki for the #s but nothing really returned from the parts books.
