It varies some since they were put on by hand. Hamtramck placed them as shown in the top photo, and LA as shown in the bottom photo.

Yup, B for Hamtramck and E for LA on 1970 E-bodies. No clue on the name, I will look into it.  :1zhelp:

The Hamtramck name appears to be Polish in origin;

Hamtramck built a lot of cars for California sale, they were the largest plant.

All of the cars listed below were built exclusively at Hamtramck;

E-body covertibles.
E-body Hemi cars.
AAR Cudas.
Challenger T/As.
All E-bodies from 1971 - 1974.

Yep, mine is a LA car and it's a V code.

did L.A. do any V code cars?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

They were put on by hand, so locations vary car to car. This shows the intended location, but the actual locations splatter all over the place.
