Lynn,
We all gravitate to the obvious. It looks to the eye at first as a proper "RG"
In reality once that lower valance section was assembled it became destined for placement on its unit, and as some of you know from reading the book I wrote on Norwood - the units were assembled in build sequence because after computer lock was achieved that is how all the feeder line conveyors matched all the component parts for a specific car and marking these parts was a non standardized method used by the workers to minimize rework in AGR later.
Now we are not seeing a neat and proper RG, but a very fast and sloppy 126
126=unit build order 126 for the day which means this car was built for a match up with the valance over on the chassis side just past body drop on first shift (days) very likely between 9-and 9:30 AM.
