81 Corvettes were built in two different plants. From August 80 through the end on August 81 they were built in St Louis, and from June 81 through early November 81 they were built in Bowling Green KY. The format of the trim tags differed between the two plants, the format of your tag identifies it as a Bowling Green car.
On Bowling Green tags the letter "B" on the top left stands for 1981. The "08B" indicates the body was assembled the second week (B) of August (08) 1981. As 69L88 posted above, "46I" is the interior trim code (Camel), "50L 50U" is the primary color (Beige) and "74M" is the lower accent color (dark bronze). The "E" indicates enamel paint, which was first used paint Corvettes at Bowling Green.
