So I pull the door panel off of the drivers door to tighten the wing window and I found this what appears to be some kind of build sheet taped on the inside of the panel. Anyone know if that’s what it is?

Sure, but according to the part number on the sheet it is only a build sheet for the interior panel it is taped to. Can you find a date on it?

Specifically, an IBM 5081. Lots of fond memories associated with those.

I didn’t see a date, but then again I don’t speak German.

date = datum.

There is one field at the top titled datum which contains "0812" which could be 8th Dec. What is the field to the right, partially covered by camera flash? I think it says "xx19" which could be year 19something?

Europe dates change the order from what we Americans are used to ....

Day/Month/Year

Those old IBM computer punch cards used to make America run.
School attendance, toll roads (if you lost it (blew out the window) you paid the highest fare for a given exit, they assume you got on at exit 1 and off at 23 even if you actually got on at exit 22! ), inventory control, ordering, etc.

Ar one point they became smaller, about 1/4 the size and then they vanished from life.

It is interesting that yours has the letters "CKD" on it.
In the early days of VW foreign production (non German) they would sent kits to be assembled in another Nation, a "Complete Knock Down" kit...... CKD.

I think it was left there accidentally
255867015E is the partnr
VKLDG FAHRERT is for VERKLEIDUNG FAHRERTÜR which means driver door cover
M433+553+609 are M codes
