Mine looks pretty much the same as John's. In the AIM on the page marked R.P.O. 675, sheet 1.00 in the bottom right of the page, it shows placement of the two labels.

Re: 62 Spare Tire Cover

Thirty years ago, a judge told me that the labels on my '62 trunk board were in the wrong place "according to the AIM" and was preparing to discuss the "amount" of the deduct. I thought it was worth the $$$ to grab a corner of both labels and peel them back, just to show that they were placed "EXACTLY" over the original labels.
The guy on the line has to get the labels applied; as long as he doesn't put them on top of each other, it passes.
