Found an O in group 4!

I've been reading up on body tags, and found some answers to questions about my Corvair, but it has raised other questions too. I really enjoy looking at these tags, as each car tells you its story.
Here's how I understand the tag which I have attached below. Please feel free to correct me as I'm counting on your expertise!
06A First week of June production
65-10767 LOS 797 '65 Corsa convertible, made in Los Angeles, 797th body off the line
733 Mist Blue trim color
D-1 Mist Blue body with White top
E- Tinted windows
Group 2 LPS 4 speed trans, Convenience Group A?, and rear antenna
Group 3 C Padded dash
Group 4 PO Another reference to Convenience Group A?, and turbo motor
Group 5 W Deluxe front seat belts
Does anyone know what is exactly in Convenience Group A, and why is it listed in both Group 2 and 4? My car has a manual drivers side mirror, 2 speed wipers, an adjustable day/night rear view mirror, and courtesy lights in the glove box, trunk and engine compartment. It also has the am/fm radio, and telescoping wood grain wheel. I've searched and found different answers on the internet for what was included in this RPO.
My last question is regarding the interior. The dash and carpet are blue, but the vinyl is all white. Just wondering if that would have shown up on the tag?
My car has the 180 but the top shrouds are from a 140, so I assumed it had been swapped in. I was surprised to see it was a turbo car originally.
Thanks in advance for any input. I bought the car in December, and Corvairs are now a daily obsession.
