These AO Smith built bodies carried a trim tag with an A in front of the body number. St. Louis trim tags carried an S in front of the body number on the trim tag. As noted, for streamlining reasons, St. Louis was deemed the plant that built the bodies for cars ordered with side pipes and in 1967 St. Louis was deemed the plant that built bodies with the big block hood stripe. This is the very short answer.
Wow. Thank you very much!
