My old trunk had holes for all models! Assembled in Los Angeles! Can it have been a chenge in between the assembly plants?

The rear axle, springs and shocks would have been subassembled and stuffed under the car as a unit, I believe. I'm thinking the exhaust pipes would have been done the same way?
There should be two clamps. My guess is that the hanger was the first one that was bolted to the body. After that the assembly staff added the center pipe and the muffler. Then they added the tail pipe through the hole in the hanger so they could do the last piece, the resonator and bolt that to the frame. That should mean that there is one clamp in front of the muffler, one clamp at the end of the muffler, the clamp from the exhaust hanger, the saddle clamp for the tail pipe and resonator and finally the little rubber hanger holding the resonator.
This is just my thoughts! Anyone out there might have some valuable information.
