In theory PHS records would catch a car that was sold by Pontiac more than one (company cars, publicity cars etc) but in practice PHS doesn’t always have these multiple invoices (perhaps back in the day some of the earlier invoices were purged and only the last invoice for a car was kept. But even if PHS can identify the above their records would have no information on cars once they ended up in dealer hands and moved to different dealers before being sold to an actual end buyer.

I’ve had several cars over the years where the dealer on the PHS invoice (or build sheet) would be different than the one on the original new car bill of sale that the first owner had kept.

Btw I’ve had good luck with the KC plant for buildsheets. My best record so far is four copies on my 69 Executive; one in the front fender over the wheel tub on both sides, on on top of the gas tank and one under the front seat cushion.
