Check the VIN number on the RPO code sheet. The console & RPO sheet may have been changed at some point

Guess so if spid says z28 with vin on the top that matches.
jusr didn’t think the 5.0l tbi was a z28 . Was thinking only tpi lb9 and l98 only but could be mistaken.

Re: Is this rs or iroc

I'm going to go with RS. If it was an IROC it would have a hood with louvers and also fog lights. Plus it would be a lot of work to make an IROC look like an RS by putting the RS badging on the ground effects and changing out the hood, and usually it goes the other way. The LO3 was available in an IROC in '89, but 20k Irocs were produced that year vs 83k RS cars, so once again I'm leaning towards it being an RS.
