Default Markings...Thoughts?


Any idea what these inscriptions mean on the underside rear end of my 2019 Grand Sport? I assume they were made by folks on the assembly line, but I haven’t seen them on other Vettes. Thoughts? Thanks.

Don't see those on mine... 2017 Z06 A8... My guess would be quality control markings, i.e. this part past quality control at this time on this date, and these are the initials of the people who signed off on the part. Probably done at random intervals would be the reason not everyone would have those markings. "OP" = Operation, "10-50" = Operation Code, "1st" = First Shift, "12:30PM", obviously the time. "3-2-19", obviously the date, etc...

Interesting, but insignificant.
