The 302 seems more than just coincidence. With that said, I see there was another vehicle that had 302W683 (from what I could tell) on it as well. Again probably just mule designation numbers but only those with some insider knowledge would know what they stand for. I'm not spreading misinformation. On the contrary, I'm asking for anyone with some actual knowledge or information of internal Ford vehicle codes. Relax. 
Just to follow up I also notice that the shots of the "topless" mule without the front padding and camo last month appears to have maybe a 184W???. Too hard to tell as the shots aren't as high res as these most recent and the roof padding obscures the sticker on the windshield as well. If that is the case that would work out to some 3.0 liter engine which makes no sense I admit. So it very well could just be some random code but again any Ford fan or knowledgable car fan will get the significance of 302, seems more than coincidence. Not much else to do but make guesses until Ford gives the order for the '15 to strip.

Not the Z/28, they're gunning for the Corvette. Here's the best part, Ford doesn't have to beat the Corvette, just get close. This would drive Chevy crazy as they would have to raise the performance of the Camaro to a level even closer to their flagship car. That would be a product identity and marketing nightmare for old GM.

The 302 on the yellow sticker doesn't mean squat. The six digit number is a sequential number for all internally ordered cars. The letter indicates the purpose/department that ordered/owns the car.

C&D has a new batch of photos up, and one caught my attention:
Carbon brakes are being tested! Woo! Also not a 295 TIRE on the FRONT.
