Default Trim code plate help

Can someone decode my trim plate for my 1978 corvette?

What I know: 192 / 19 = Black Leather interior / Black exterior

What I dont know is the A23 that is also on the trim plate

Thank you

A23 is the body build date. A= first month of production and 23=23rd day of that month.

1978 production began in September of 77, so your letter A is for Sept.

The last car built in 09/77 was 03186, so your should be in the 02200-02400 range.
