Name the two most obvious differences between the US Pontiac and Canadian Poncho posi/lsd warning decal on the underside of the trunk lid on the approx 70 and older models.  (I don't know specifically when it changed!)

In the Canadian Pontiac ones it says, "Do not try a smoke job at -40degrees."

Close?

Decals are US specific and on left side for US, Canadian cars are like Chevy decals, Canadian Specific and on right side.

Ok, I forgot about location. Good point.

True about the Canadian Pontiacs use Chevy decals. I worded it poorly but I am looking for the difference between the Canadian and US decals.

Two specific differences.

The canadian ones are yellow

I think one might say "positraction" and one " limited-slip"

Yellow for sure is the one thing.

I was looking for totally different shape between the two as being the other thing. US is pretty much square isn't it?
