To be clear, that is not a VIN tag.
The VIN for your car is likely mounted in the left door mounting pillar below the windshield.

Well Data Tag ? I was just curious if anyone has seen a tag like this and what they say about the vehicles?

A popular term is "Fender Tag". Chevrolets and other GM products often referred to them as Data Plates.

Yes, generally seen attached under the fender tag, not on top.

Here are some examples of the inspectors tag.

I saw one on a '68 GTX convertible that was attached inside the driver's side door hinge area - it was about 3 inches long. The new (then) owner of the car back in around 1998 wasn't sure what it was. I knew straight away and told him to record the details and photograph it. Body colour (green ...lol) and had never been moved since leaving the assembly line.

I had one on my 71 Road Runner.

Probably

I just put it on there after removing it I had read somewhere that Fender Tags had a Plain steel Screw on one side and a painted screw on the other that is how they came. Yes, like 77RR shows that is how mine was mounted I need to put it back on the Opposite side then strip the Right screw of any paint then clear coat it plain steel Screw!
