Maximum load(weight) capacity per axle corvette 1977

I need some help... In order to import my 1977 Corvette (L 48,automatic) authorities in my country are asking me to provide them with information of maximum load(weight) capacity per axle.
Does anybody know how much pounds(or kg) per axle it is allowed, and where is it written officially , so
that they can verify it. Thanks a lot!

Those are actual weights, rather than maximum capacity values.

Well to confuse everyone even further.....

I went out and had a look at my label on my car, the axle ratings are quite a bit different on mine than the ones in the assembly manual.

I took a pic and will post it, but I'm wondering what other labels look like....anyone want to post a pic of your labels??
