Bill - probably the reason it's a little different than most is because it is body specific; most are found on top of the fuel tank and have more chassis content.

There would be a specific build sheet tailored for each "feeder" line where components were subassembled/dressed out and brought to the main line; so - rear axle, engine line, body, chassis, seats, etc. Then, as you mentioned, as the various components come together those no-longer needed build sheets would get pitched (usually in the assembly plant).
