Painted separately or as a unit?

Top pic is unrestored bird has black backing plates all the way out where the red one has unpainted but over sprayed backing plates. Assembly manual shows that joint from backing plate to drum should be clear of paint and over spray . But that unrestored bird rear looks an awful lot like how the Camaro diff looks . Differnt plants? Maybe I could look at date and plant of that particular unrestored firebird
