The sticker on the wiper motor was usually a replacement part label. I have never seen one on a factory fresh car. The sticker on the rad cap is totally wrong. More like 80's or 90's than 60's.

Check out the photo archive for lots of gratuitous engine shots from the factory archives;

Usually a better guide than most pictures on the internet.

The sticker on the wiper motor looks like a Bluecol antifreeze one, the rad cap looks like AC Delco :)
