On the topic of Fender Tags- what if you don't have it?

I'm also an old man at 63, but here's what I have. I bought the car in 2005, found the build sheet, and almost all parts are original, with the numbers matching the build sheet and correct date codes. For your evaluation, here is the fender tag. I put tape over the last couple of numbers of the sequence number just because. Any comments are welcome. I hope I didn't jack the OP's thread. Paul.

That certainly looks like an original tag to me. The appearance of the tag varied from plant to plant. The fonts were different, as were the methods they used for painting under the hoods. If the last 6 digits in the sequence match the last 6 of your VIN, that is more than likely the tag that originally came on the car. You were only mistaken on your fastener terminology when you said the fender tag was held on with rosette rivets. Wasn't offended or mad about it though...so we're all good.
