I think that is the type they use on '68 Yenko's.

And those destined for overseas, etc.

The "magic mirror" tag was used by Chevy on many models in the mid 1960's.

It has an "ACC." field as the last line where you can show options or special order or fleet order or COPO.

I think the "magic mirror" tag was used on 1968 Camaros to show special order or fleet order or COPO.

On 1967 Camaros, last line of the trim tag, they used a dash - with a code or without to show special order or fleet order or COPO.

The standard 1968 Camaro trim tag had no room for a ACC line because of the large safety statement so they used the older "magic mirror" tag.
They didn't need to put a code in the ACC. line because the "magic mirror" tag itself shows the special order.

here is a 1963 Impala tag for comparison

As I understand it, the only 68 Camaros to get the "magic mirror" tag were export cars (excluding Canada) and Yenko's. As JoeC pointed out, that was due to the federally mandated legalese on the new for 68 tags. I get why export cars not needing to meet US standards in their countries would be excluded from that requirement, but I don't understand why the Yenko tags didn't require the legal statement. I suppose there are other cases where room was needed on tags for fleet codes that may have received the magic mirror tag as well.
