Default RPO Code Help

Hello All, I just bought an 05 C6 coupe, love it! Thought I would go through the RPO codes to see how it came out of the factory and I cannot find the description for codes R6C, R7N, VM3, V73, WD0, and WD1. Can you help? Thanks

VM3 = consumer, contains bpr imp standard for frt 5 mph & rr 5 mph
V73 = vehicle statement usa/canada

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.

That makes sense then. Previous owner said it was a corporate car. VIN shows it was number 224 off the line. Thanks.
