Codes behind the dash

I've been tearing down and cleaning my car to prep for paint. I have the infamous codes in chalk behind the dash. So far I have been able to decipher/guess:

RED = Red paint and/or red trim
15L = Left hand drive? (not sure about the 15, maybe that is redundant since the dash is clearly a LHD dash.)
H= heater
RIG = ???
W/W = Windshield washer
MPH = MPH speedo/odo
26655 = Chassis number

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

David: Your dash back is suspiciously like mine. Serial in my case is 37600. Car was white w/ red interior. I wonder if the white lettering in the radio cutout might be an assembly line sequence number. Mine is written inverted.

Jim, my car is red with red interior. I guess the "red" on the back of the dash is for the interior color. Yours also says "RIG" or "RI6" or R16". I wonder what that means? Your car was 11,000 units later than mine and the hand writing looks the same.

Very similar to the markings that were on the Tunebug. Can't remember what the 15L on the radio cutout was for.
