Why did the hippy drown?
Because, he was really FAR OUT.

That's odd that the box is a 71 but the cap say 72. Something seems off there to me.

Not that odd. I have a 1985 Mustang built late in the year, and it has many, particularly trim pieces with E6ZB moulded in.

I think the box number is the actual part number and the number on the part is the engineering number

It's the difference between a service part number (on the box) and an engineering or casting number ( on the part). The items sold under the service part number can change, but the part number doesn't need to if form/fit/function don't change. The basic number shown (9A112) is only for the gas cap base, not the complete assembly.

This could be true.

I agree with what you said but I would bet those parts where in the box/bin with the matching part number when your car was built at least I would assume. Its common to have an early production car with different year parts. I just find that the NOS parts are boxed different. Just odd to me is all I'm saying.
