Re: 56 Patrician bought off ebay

I bought two new doorskin panels from ebay. They are NOS as I need the Patrician door panels as the existing one have been damaged over the years. I just noticed this rubber stamp printing on the original and thought it interesting enough to show it.
The stamping reads:
INSPECTED
MAY 23 1956
MITCHELL - BENTLEY CORP
OWOSSO MFG DIV
We have always been aware that Mitchel-Bentley did a lot of work for Packard. As this interior is not normal production at all, I submit that it was done at M-B as any out-of-norm production job. They may have done the paint also???
The NOS doorskins have no such printing except the trim code
6482425 was hand-written on the inside.
