This is my understanding of these codes from the research I've seen:

RPO WDO: WDO is the PROCESSING OPTION CODE for a car BUILT FOR THE NEXT MODEL YEAR FOR TESTING and EVALUATION purposes. A WDO is built during the current model year run, but is a FUTURE Model Year Vehicle. This Option Code is known at the factory as a "CONTAINMENT VEHICLE" CODE. Which is the "IDENTIFICATION" of the START OF A NEW PLATFORM.

RPO WD1: WD1 is the IDENTIFICATION CODE FOR A FACTORY PILOT VEHICLE, for the Next Model Year. Example: If the factory was building 2008's and a "RPO WDO" & "RPO WD1" was going to be built, it would be a 2009 Model and would have a 2009 VIN Plate attached to it. Of course this would be a EARLY MODEL 2009 C6.

RPO WD2: WD2 is the IDENTIFICATION CODE FOR A FACTORY PROTOTYPE, Vehicle. All the information would be the same as above, EXCEPT this would be a 2010 C5. Usually all Vehicles after this are called ALPHA Vehicles And BETA Vehicles meaning 3 and 4 model years away.

That is correct as I understand it.
