Memories from other GM cars of the era, were a metal stamping (my '65 tempest - bought new) with (let's call it) reversed (mirror image) so that, as you said, it could be run through the old fashioned credit card machines where they held down a lever for pressure and ran something across to create an impression on a slip of paper.  The only Corvair one I've seen was a series of plastic strips (maybe 5 or 6 of them?) which were stuck into the back of the owner manual and containing the appropriate information.

  No problem JR.... I don't even know if they were called "protecto-plates" at that time... all I know is it was a "carbon impression" like the old credit card readers would have done... no actual card, per se....
  But it was in a 62 Chevy Warranty booklet...
  Take care!
