First thanks for providing all the needed info ;)

-AR's in late 68 would have had a single stripe on each short leaf normally behind the rear end attachment point in Orange

This come from buildsheets and observations of original cars.

The build sheet from my 1968.5 R-code coupe (auto) shows "BROWN".

Scott does that car have -AR rear springs?

I don't know.  That's what's on the build sheet though.  It was built in July.

What were the different springs used on the 68 1/2 s?
