Paint code "YO" translates to "Oxford White Solid". Based on what I know and have looked up in the past, the 1990-1993 Mustang paint codes were 2-letter paint codes, while previous years were alpha-numeric.

If that is the paint code you see on the driver's door VC label and floor pans under the carpet are "white" as well, it's no doubt the car was built as "white" from the factory. Not many places who do an exterior repaint will go through the trouble of painting the interior (or trunk), so that's a quick way of determining a vehicle's paint color.

IIRC, the standard Mustang BUC tag should also have the paint code stamped into it as well (along w/ many other codes) - this will usually be at the upper right, 2nd line of coding.

The DSO you had listed correlates back to "Charlotte".

Have you found any extra wiring anywhere in the engine bay, trunk, under carpet along rockers or under the dash? Also, sometimes 2nd generation owners (after the vehicle was auctioned) have been known to replace the dash & center console w/ replacement parts that no longer have screw or access holes as they did when the vehicle was in service, sometimes it is hard to determine if those parts were original to the car or not.

Have you pulled the carpet and/or rear bottom seat cushion or rear 1/4 plastics yet to see if you can find a build sheet? Sometimes the build sheet can be found in those locations only IF it were left behind at the factory and only IF the car's interior has never been tampered with after the Dept. auction. If you could find a build sheet, some of the SSP build sheets had good info on them as to how the car was ordered and what it came with when built.
