That is your body buck tag, it was attached to the body early on during assembly so the workers further down the line would know any specific steps that had to be done to the shell as it went down the line.

Most of your codes have been decifered but here's the others,

2A standard black interior
PT power top
PB power brakes
GT GT equipment group (your car is a true GT!)
ST AM/8 track stereo radio
RB rear bumperettes
PS power steering

For example: this let the workers on the line know they had to cut holes in the bottom corners of the doors for the stereo speakers. NOTE: this "ST" code is for Dearborn 68 cars only! Metuchen cars had ST meaning standard transmission. Codes weren't uniform across plants.
