no it is not the door tag but the buck tag in the engine bay on the driver side fender

 

Buck tags were the assembly line build instructions (guideline really - oh, what a line) used by Ford in the Dearborn and Metuchen Mustang assembly plants. I thought the Glen posted the sit, so go to http://www.ponysite.de/fmcog/to_alt/bbtd.htm
