To me, on the inspection tag, it would seem to related to when it was added in the process. Early it would be painted, later it probably would not. Thoughts?


The tag was held on by a screw in the rearmost hole on the tag, and the other screw to fully hold down the tag was installed later after painting. If it's a 2 fender tag car, the two outermost screws were installed after paint.
Hopefully someone who has studied the inspection tags closer can help with telling what they were for, when installed and if painted or not.

No offence but the front screw was attached and painted and the rear screw was not painted. Just opposite what you said in your post. There are several pictures in this post showing the correct placement.
