Broadcast sheets by "Curly"

There is a thread in the Charger area that spun off a bit into a discussion about "Curly".  It's interesting so I thought I'd bring it up here under its own thread to see how many people have a broadcast sheet by Curly (as he has been nicknamed).  Curly writes on the broadcast sheets with a nice big loopy "C" with a good curl to it.  My own broadcast sheet has nothing written on it in grease pencil but mine came from under the carpet.  Curly seems to be writing interior color codes and since most broadcast sheets are found in the seat springs it makes sense to me that Curly must have worked somewhere around interior trim.
So, how many of you have a sheet by Curly?

I found 2 broadcast sheets for my Charger while tearing it down for the restoration. Both were in pretty bad shape but all the numbers and codes are there, especially if you put them one-on-top-of-the-other to get one whole sheet. 

The sheet found behind the back seat had the "curly" C mark. My SPD is 314 so, he was still inspecting and marking them in March 1969.

My thought's are that it is a quick way for the installer to know what seats to put in.
Interior code C6X= charger black.

There is also a very good chance that 'curly' was a lady.

Whoever the person on shift at the time that was taking the broadcast sheets off the printer in the trim shop made the notes.

I have over 40 sheets, and every Charger sheet has the same "C" on it.

Believe Curly wrote CRT on mine. 
69 RT/SE Y3 cream yellow w/tan vinyl top and black r/t stripe. non matching 440/375, 3:23, Column shift auto w/buddy seat, tan interior, am/fm w/fr to back fade, Now wears 17" magnum 500 rims and Nitto tires. Fresh repaint, new interior, new wheels and tires.

I doubt every different person that wrote the notes on the sheet would have the same handwriting, I find it curious that all of the C's look like a small "e" and look like the same person made the letter.

Mine.

A ''Miss Curly" perhaps. Intriguing  :popcrn:

Any ideas what the other letter is, or what it means?

One thing I did find in my car that had been there since day one was a Canadian coin from 1967 which had been glued down with underseal in the corner of the floor pan in front of the rear seat. I guess since the fact that the factory was only a few miles from the border that some Canadian auto worker would glue a coin in to have a laugh at the U.S. built car/ new owner along the way.
I cleaned it up and took some photos and then sealed it back in so the old car wouldn't lose its Mojo...
