Im a chevelle guy but here is what I found doing a search; Not sure the W is correct since it appears in what would be the first group, likely has something to do with the windshield.

W= Passenger Side Exterior Mirror
P= U63 Push Button Radio
X= Z = Z03 Super Sport (note 2)
(note 2) The Oakland plant used X for the Super Sport Package.

Since the tag shows the OA for the Oakland plant it seems the X identifies it is an SS.

hope this helps, Andy

Nice Car. Here's what I know/think:

11E =November, 5th week 1962 body build date.
63-437 ='63 2-dr Hardtop/Coupe
OA 6528 =Oakland Plant, Body Sequence #.

(Colors as you mentioned)
702 =Black Bucket Seat Interior (not sure on the 7- and 28. Probably plant specific for interior items).
948 =Palomar Red

Acc (OA does not list Acc Line #)
W =Tinted Windshield (Some decoders list "F" for this but believe "W" is correct for this OA plant case & '64+).
P =Z01 Comfort and Convenience Package (Many places list this as PB Radio for many years but few Corvair, Nova & Camaro people got together and showed that data points to C&C and Fischer Body body mods needed for it. Corvair guys published).
X =Super Sport
M35 =Powerglide Trans
2933 =Plant Specific Code, don't have info.
