Yes, that is a production line piece. I found several '72-'74 units painted red oxide from the factory over the years.
Where was the car it came from built?
I have had several just like that out of '72-4 E-bodies.

All 72-74 E-bodies were built at Hamtramck. I think all 71 E-bodies also (not 100% sure though)

I should have asked this question last year, after seeing an article on where to look for some markings,I started cleaning my 8.75, there is what looks like orange paint under some of the black that came off - I was always wondering why would someone strip the black, paint it reddish orange, and then black again - it's a 489 case 3.55 gear car was built May 26 of 71 - I'll have to look at the date to see what it is, havepicson my other computer - will post when I get a chance - interesting - Joe

Really? They only built them in L.A. for one year?

Did over-the-counter NOS units have all of the same markings as an OEM unit?...except for bolt-check paint dabs of course.
I don't remember if it had any other markings on it or not. it's a 2.76 open and now in his 1970 challenger. and if I remember right everything was red oxide including the pinion flange
