Is this how to decode sheet metal?

Is it appropriate to assume sheet metal dates should precede the car's build date by apprx 2 months?

Normally 'up to' 2 months would be a better assumption.  Some pieces could precede farther back.  There's no hard rule.

When it comes to panels its best to look at other original unrepaired cars from the same plant and time period for examples of what was in supply at that point when you can.  Trends show up all the time some are pretty narrow while others are wider in dates but it does help
