Yes, Those are '65-'66 Metuchen Plant ONLY "Paint OK" stamps.

I have never seen that Quality Sealer stamp before though,  It's fantastic!

Hmmm...I have a sililar "Paint OK" stamp in the same location on my San Jose built 66 GT convertible. Took a picture of it before it was stripped.

NJ and San Jose IMHO stamps are not similar at all. PAINT OK was the standard lettering used during this period (smaller and different font) while San Jose rarely used the exact wording PAINT OK.  NJ used workers names or a two digit code to identify the inspector while San Jose didn't use names until later in part of 68 production
