I think you've got most of them. There are also date codes printed on the windows, a tag on the seat back and a casting date cast into the engine block above the starter as well as on the heads. Some of the sheet metal is also date coded. The instrument cluster housing and radio often have dates stamped on them as well. On two 68's in the area here I have seen a final assembly date stamp on the firewall above the master cylinder.
