Who Wrote "YES" on my Daytona Tail Light Housing

So I'm going through my newly acquired Daytona and popped off the large black plastic tail light cover and low and behold, someone wrote "YES" on the top of the driver's side tail light.  I initially thought this was a prior owner having a good day but I decided to do a little research and found on the internet another Daytona example where someone wrote "NO."  This has to be more than coincidence.  Was this a drunk line guy at Creative having fun,  a dumb coincidence or is there some sort of meaning to this YES - NO markings?

Sorry, but I am confused.   So my Charger 500 has "No" written on the tail light housing.   

So that is to do what for the trunk light switch (which mine does not have)?

Guessing your car does not have this tab for the switch without the A01 light package?
Not sure if Creative removed them from the original location and reinstalled them or if they had a supply of new ones to tack on.
I could be way off base and every car actually has the mount and the yes/no simply told them whether to add the switch or not.
My car has the A01 package and I have no idea what happened to the switch or if it was ever even there.
The car was repainted under warranty and the switch may have gone missing then. With Dad gone, I will never know.
I can't check my taillight for any markings since the car is 550 miles away at the moment.

Here is what is on my C500, the tab on the original trunk lip and then the tab not on the modified lip...plus the tail light housings with the No marked.   This is wild, I had always wondered what the Yes or No meant.   I assume Daytonas and C500 were the same in this regard?

The tab for the trunk light switch was NOT repositioned in the new place on your 500, so I am 100% sure your 500 doesn't have A01 on the fender tag...... All Chargers came with the tab, now, Creative would have had to cut that off the original location and reposition/weld onto the rear window plug by the forward edge of the trunk lid (boot lid for the Brits :-) )

You are right Troy, I do not have A01 on the tag!

Our C500 says no, kinda neat for it to still be there after 53 years.

The thing I started second guessing myself about was if the tab was in place on all Chargers or not. It just made sense for them to have it to standardize the production line. Produce them all with the tab rather than dealing with two different parts. You need it and it's there. You don't and you're only out a cent or two.

I never thought to look and see if the tab was gone from the original spot on mine or if a second one was just added on at Creative. They could have saved themselves a lot of time and a little effort just by grabbing a box of tabs from the supply stash where they were stamped at.

On a daytona? And in red?

Here is my thoughts. someone has added that at some point. The "yes" and "No" on 500's is something I have been tracking for over 25 years now. However it isn't something that was done for the entire run of 500's.
